Hannah laughing at Jonathan





This is Christmas of 2007. Jonathan particularly made Hannah burst out laughing, for no reason apparent to the rest of us, even in the middle of church! :D

Christmas 2009!

2009 went by very quickly and brought many changes in our family. The newest addition is Christy Anna (on grandpa's lap), and the long awaited baby who was still hiding in last year's picture will be a year old soon! Cadence Joy (held by Aunt Kim) is living up to her name by bringing joy to everyone. It was a blessing to be together, although the time was shortened greatly by winter weather, which delayed travelling. We were thankful for every minute!

Christmas

Christmas -- family, togetherness, laughter, singing, warmth, gifts, food, memories, lights, decorations -- LOVE. The love of God to us, demonstrated in giving us the greatest gift of all -- His Son. The love of family for each other -- grandparents, parents, children, brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews, cousins. A time to be together, even if the time is short. A time to sing and laugh and make new memories. A time to enjoy the lights and decorations, the warmth of food and fellowship. A time to rejoice in and thank God for all the blessings He has so generously poured out on us. He is SO GOOD to us!
