My dearest friend Laura was in St.Louis with her family, as they are visiting from India...Karis and I flew up there to see them. It was such a wonderful time...stew and i love this family so much and they are truly like family. Laura and I caught up on our conversation over coffee and lunch at a favorite bread company place....and i got to see Ivy, their newest addition. Ivy was born just a week after karis. Laura and I have had all of our kids around the same time! Laura is truly a "heart friend" where it doesn't matter the distance or time, we can always pick up right where we left off...our lives have continued to grow through email and letters, but it was so good to see her in person! Laura, I love you so much!! We can't wait to see what God does and how he provides for you and Matt in a few months!!
Stew's Family came down from Georgia this Christmas! It was so wonderful to have them in our home! We ate a wonderful christmas eve lunch together, went to the christmas eve service at our church and then came back for homemade hot chocolate and presents. Only the kids get gifts and so we watched chelsea-our neice and wesleygrant and sally open their gifts. Then on christmas day we eat "Breakfast Cake" and celebrate Jesus by acting out the Christmas story. Wesleygrant and sally were the stars of the show, of course....but we all had a small part and it reminded us of the joy of our Saviour's birth. We love our family so much!!! We miss you guys already!
