Merry Christmas 2011

In keeping with my family's least favorite Holiday Tradition, everyone was dressed 15 minutes before we needed to leave for Christmas Morning service to have pictures made.  They may not like doing it, but they are sure gorgeous!

 And the best . . .

Merry Christmas to our friends and family -

We are so blessed to have each of you in our lives.

May God richly bless you this Holiday.

Christmas Pics with Gran

My mom was able to visit this Christmas!  The kids liked showing their Gran where they live, their church and friends and their home.

This Good Day

Today is peacefully quiet in our home.  The kids are working on lessons, I'm doing my Bible study and praying;  the crock pots are cooking dinner for the Youth Group and the dog is snoring.

The peace is palitable.  Like a warm coat and fuzzy mittens you love.  Knitted with care by loving hands.

Outside the clouds cover the Colorado mountains in the same manner, wrapping them in a snug blanket of winter white.

The whole of the atmosphere seems to speak,

"Be Still my soul.  Know, I am God!"

Still Going....

In the past 5 weeks we have:

Been to Denver twice.  Ashley has had surgery once.
Been To ABQ.  CHris played a soccer tournament
Taken down Fall Decorations.
Put up Christmas decorations.
Rehearsed and Directed Music for Children's Christmas Program.
Made Xmas lists.
Xmas shopped.
Wrapped gifts.
Sneezed.  Coughed.  Ran Fever.  Passed it around.
Got better.
Started it again.

And you wonder why I haven't written a blog?

The 99 Cont'd

So the 99% are following the 1%.  Showing God's great love.

As our friends move to Phoenix we wish them well and pray God's grace and protection for them.  They are completing a great calling.  They are driven by a God-given passion.

Not only will their newest gem get great medical care, but so will two other little treasures.  I will so miss my Christmas Cookie Buddy!

Good things, friends!

Go with God!
