We are doing well. It has been cold more days than not lately. The wind has been crazy, also, the last few days. Colt is doing great in school, piano, and basketball. We stay busy with him but are having such fun. Abigial continues to grow and develop and is such a joy. She likes to visit with everyone she meets! She's so happy.

We continue in the process of applying for missions. We've recently met a deadline for getting some paperwork in. Nothing definite to report still at this point.

God is good-all the time. We say this in good times and in bad. We look forward to what He has for us as we enjoy the "now!"

Colt's First Basketball Game

Colt did great in his first basketball game. He made three of the six goals for his teams!

Our Family

I'm finally posting again!

It's been way too long since I posted on our blog. We were gone over Christmas visiting family. Then Joel and I both ended up with bad colds. We're both doing much better and the kids never got sick, praise God! I'm back to teaching Colt now after the holidays and still enjoying it so much. Abigail is doing great in her own school-she's holding her head up so well, staring to not only smile but also laugh now. She is so social. She enjoys visitng with others a lot!

We're continuing with the missions application process. We're getting references in from church staff and others required. I've got to write a little bio soon! We'll keep you posted on that as it progresses.

I'm starting to diligently get the rest of this baby weight off. It feels great to be eating better again. Better get these photos posted as Abigail's wanting me!

Colt's Christmas Songs

Colt recorded songs with Tim Russo one night while at Tim and Elaine's house. What a great Christmas gift! The Russos are such a blessing to our family. Thanks, Tim, Elaine, and Colt! Click to listen.

Picture with Santa

We took Colt and Abigail to the mall today and got a picutre with Santa. We bought the cd so we could share it with you all! Colt had never done this before and was really wanting to so we thought it would be fun this year. This was the first photo taken-and it was the best! Merry Christmas to you all! Jesus is the reason for the season! We'd all be nowhere good without Him.
