Christmas morning! It was an exciting day!! The hit of the day was a Snuggi, of all things!
Of course these are out of order, this was our tour of the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. It was a lot of fun and something Alex will never forget! If his plans go like he wants them to, he will play there someday! :o)
The scene in Boone, NC as Greg and I were driving around celebrating our 15th anniversary. We celebrated this late since our anniversary is in June, but it was well worth it since this is where we really wanted to celebrate. We both love Boone!
I prayed for snow, and I got snow!
Annie's first sledding experience. (with cousins, Caroline and Emily) I think this is duplicated from below, but, oh well!
The guide said not to go past the yellow line but Alex wanted to run onto that field so bad he could almost taste it. I kinda felt for him! I wanted to play dumb and just say go for it!
This is Mason, another cousin, I wanted to get pictures of all the kids together, but it never happened. They were just too busy....can't you tell. Busy, busy, busy!
Here is Marissa, she was busy too! Oh the joy of texting! When they all have arthritis they will wish they hadn't done that so much!
Grandma (Greg's mom) and the kids after the tour.
Annie and Caroline, they had a blast together!
So we have been out of the loop for quite some time now. We left our home on the 19th of December and returned home on January 7th! That is one lonnnng vacation. We worked in some time with a church we are working with and did some training for a trip that they will be taking to Mexico, so it wasn't all play and no work, but it was a lot of play!
We are happy to report that all three of the churches that we spoke at in November and December met their LM goal and we are praying that the overall LM goal will be met so that more Ms can be sent. Please pray that this goal will be met and 2010 will be a year of sending instead of not sending.
As you can see from the pictures we were able to spend lots of time with cousins and grandparents. Jerod, Alex and Annie had a wonderful Christmas and were happy to be able to spend some time in the snow! I guess I am to blame for the cold temperatures and the snow. I did ask for it. I wanted snow and oh how I got it! It was fun and so so pretty! We are now looking forward to a great year of lots of exciting things and lots of transition. We are passed the half way point and we are now looking at how to make going back easier on the kids. We are also trying to make sure we accomplish everything we want to do before our time here is up. Lots of planning and organizing of our time. Something I am not so good at!
