The Princess Limo


The kiddos are starting to feel better and act more like themselves!! We thank Jesus for that!! We have a yearly art project around here and it is one of their AWANA events. The kids go to AWANA each week and they have a yearly event called "Drive-In Movie Night". The kids have to make cars out of cardboard and then they take them and sit in them and watch a movie. It's a big hit!! So, I decided that would become one of their major art projects of the year. Daddy and Mama can help with the car but the idea has to be theirs!!! Their creativity can really roll, no pun intended!! So, here is Halena with her dear friend, Lydia, in the "Princess Limo".

It's About Time



We aren't doing very well at this blogging thing, are we?!!! Our desire to keep family and friends updated might become a monthly thing ~ ha! ha! We had a wonderful Christmas and enjoyed having all of Daddy's family here. We're almost through January and there's a little girl in this house who is ANXIOUSLY looking forward to a birthday in February :) The boys get excited about their birthdays but you've never seen anything like the Princess and her sheer delight over turning a year older and all the discussions about "the day!!" We are celebrating as a family on her day and actually having a big party mid-February because Grammy, Auntie LA and Judson are flying out to party with us. We are counting down the days for their arrival.

The two youngest have been sick. Holt has had pneumonia for more than a week now. The first antibiotics didn't work so we've started his second round. Poor little guy has felt yucky for a long time. We anticipate the Lord's healing soon. Please pray for him to be 100% quickly, we would appreciate that. He did lose a front tooth last week and it's just precious.
Daddy will be wrapping up his role running the plant he built last year. We are excited for him to get back into the building role, which means a move for us and we're eagerly waiting for the full list of possibilities and praying for the Lord's will to lead us where He wants us to go.

We have so many friends that we're praying for. We praise God for answered prayer in healing and sustaining so many. Our friend Mary Jo had a great report from Mayo last week. Please continue to pray that God heals her TOTALLY of the cancer; Tangi has not gone into labor after falling when she was 23 weeks pregnant, pray that her hospital bed-rest would go quickly and she and baby would be healthy; Carey didn't have to have her baby too early and everything looks great, baby should come in late February. We pray for all of you and love you dearly!
