The Model Car



Well we decided to venture in on a model car.....they have ones that are already painted, well what is the fun in that we decided.....so we went to the hobby store and bought a model car, glue, and enamel paint (paint was a mistake). We started with the seats and the engine parts....will for sure be a very long project......only DAD got paint on his sweat pants.....as the hood flipped off and landed in his lap. Fun but this will be quite the challenge.....we learned that hard core hobby guys or gals use an airbrush! We are not hard core.

Christmas Eve



We enjoyed going to a Christmas Eve service at our church. They had a live nativity and we heard some beautiful music. After the service we enjoyed a quiet evening as a family reading the Christmas story and getting ready for Santa and his reindeer to come. New record---Anna and Cole were in bed at 8:00. Anna woke-up at 11:00 to check to see if Santa had come. She thought morning would never come.

First Snow of Winter



We didn't get a lot of snow but just enough to build a snowman and do a little sledding.

What a letter


Well today I got a box of seeds in a cup from George Walther (www.georgewalther.com) who came to speak when we had the Keypoint Study Club meeting at Lucas Oil Stadium (Where the COLTS play). He was an awesome speaker and the kind of person who could really encourage one to do more with their life. On my evaluation form I could not find ANYTHING negative to say, but the night before I found out that he HATES squash. So I put on the form that he needed to grow closer to squash.

Tessa is Three Months Old

Tessa is growing so quickly. She smiles and laughs. She likes to blow raspberries especially for Anna and Cole. She likes to sit and watch what everyone is doing. She likes to coo and talk.
She is a joy to our family.

Trip to Park City




Well we made our annual trip to Park City this year and again and we really enjoyed our time out there......what a fabulous place to spend a day. I have to admit, we all had headaches from the elevation, I think we were all a little O2 deprived.....the pics are from the iPhone, not the best, but does not depreciate the good time we had!!!!

Game Night with DAD



Well Dad came out for the big came here in Indianapolis when the Colts played the Patriots. He left me a voice mail and said he had one of the best times that he has ever had. I have always had a very strong bond with DAD and hope to have the same bond with my kids. It was GREAT!!!!!
