Merry Christmas





As blogging has become the rage, I have often considered starting a blog of my very own. I couldn't imagine, however, that there would be many people interested in reading about what happens in our "little corner" of the world. I have come to the conclusion that, while there may not be many of you who will read this blog, those of you who will are worth the effort.




So, one of the Christmas presents that I am offering to those who are interested in what happens in my small part of the world is this newly created blog.

Over the next few weeks I will make a solid effort to share some photos and memories from the past year. Many of you have expressed your frutration with me for not sharing my photos with you. I hope that this will help me do a better job. I also desperately want to get some of my thoughts and recollections from this year put down in some way that is more permanant than my memory so that I don't forget them before I have a chance to scrapbook and journal them.

As it is very late and I haven't downloaded today's photos from the camera yet, I have posted some pictures from a few days ago. Two Sunday's ago, December 16th, our church was cancelled due to weather, so we had some quality family time at home. I had purchased a gingerbread house kit and the kids had been begging Jeremy and I to put it together with them. This was one of the many projects that we did that day to keep us all from getting cabin fever.

One thing to notice in the pictures - Isak is wearing a Pull-Up. Don't get excited. It didn't last long. I was so hoping to get him potty trained over the holidays. He has not even a little bit of interest in it.

Things that I'm sure you will notice even though I wish you wouldn't - I am wearing pajamas in the photos and my hair had not even been combed yet! Oh well.
