We have been enjoying all the pictures and Christmas letters from so many people. Sorry for not sending a printed photo of our crew - hopefully an electronic one will do!
Here is a little update from our house to yours:
Emma is in 5th grade.
Playing violin this year and really enjoys it. She is a READER! Most days we just see her
forehead above a book. She is a sweet lovely
little lady.
Norah is in 1st grade. Our energetic fun loving little girl. She asked
Jesus into her heart earlier this year and told the whole world about it on
November 17th. Baptized at
church in front of her Sunday school class plus lots of family & friends. She wanted a party and we had one – in the
midst of terrible storms.
Sam is 3 and all boy. He
loves all things construction equipment, swords/knights, and balls. He is our gentle giant – most of the
time. Being three of course brings
independence and a bit of naughty. For a long time, he has said "gr" instead of 'f' in most words, so funny was grunny. Recently, he has started to master the 'f' sound and so we are a little sad to see 'grunny' go and funny is here to stay.
Steve hit 20 years at State Farm this year. We celebrated our 18th anniversary in November. Marriage and family life is fantastic. Not without challenges but full of joy, fun and drawing closer to God. I’m still at home – 11 years now. Well, at home may not be the correct way to say it. Sam and I seem to never be home!
I just glanced back through old posts - what a fun trip down memory lane. Makes me want to do a better job of writing more often. Maybe I'll consider that for 2014:)
It certainly showed me how quickly our crew is growing up and reminded me of how faithful our awesome God is.
We hope that you all know the hope and peace made possible by the baby in the manger, who came to save us all. Jesus' love is certainly the greatest gift we could ever hope for and is available to all through faith in his finished work on the cross for us.
Have a great 2014!
