Updating the Past

Well I'm making myself sit down and write.  I have a million and one things I should be doing right now.  The days when there are no kids at home I try to get as much accomplished as possible.  I guess this would be one of those things that would be on my list as I won't be interrupted.  So I figured I would highlight the big stuff since Oct. to bring you all up to speed.

October

In October we had our annual 5K Walk/Run for Angels of Hope.  This amazing ministry is for those who have lost a child in any way - miscarriage, still birth, or death after life.  I am so very blessed to be apart of this amazing ministry where God shows us how to live after such a hardship.  This pictures shows us all lighting a candle for our loved ones and praying.  Oh how God was with us!

Thankful for my parents who had the kids so that I could help.  Harry was out in South Dakota at a church missionary trip building cabins for a bible camp.

Can you believe that these kiddos are this big already!?!?

3rd Grade

Kindergarten

Preschool

November

The kids got to try out what hockey was all about.  Oh the falls but they both got back up and kept on going.  They had lots of fun.  They both look so big and tough in these pictures.  

December

Harry was Student of the Month!

Christmas so much fun and fun as we watch the kids each year reflect on Christ's birth.  Oh how they continue to grow in His love and faith.  I'm in awe most days.

This guy turned 5!

All he wanted was cheesecake made by Mommy!

He also lost his very first tooth that morning!  It was a good day!

January

We are getting a lot of remodeling done in our house.  This is our foreman.  He keeps us on our toes and most days does pitch in to help.  

February

And this one is 6!

And all we wanted was Mommy's cheesecake with cherries on top in this design.  She's very specific and knows exactly what she wants.  Love her spunkiness.

Yes we have another foreman!

Who meditates!

The business owners decided that it was time for an upgrade.  It is a used furniture delivery truck so barely used on milage.  This is a gift from God as during the deal you could see his hand in it all.  Thank you Jesus!

Sock Hop at school! I love these days when I can make things for the girls.

March

We are so very blessed and thankful to celebrate my Dad's birthday this year after his scare last summer with this heart attack.  Oh how God's hand was in it all.  So glad to have these special moments to share with him.  As you can tell the kids love their Grapa...Grama too!

Lor got reading glasses.  She looks so sophisticated. 

Well that's it for now!  Back to cleaning in the quietness.  Thank you Jesus for these precious gifts of life.
