A Small Update

I thought I would give you a glimpse at our church in the winter. The photo on the right-hand side of the blog doesn't show the new wing of the church very well. I would love for you all to come and visit. It is such a beautiful church, full of sweet people and, of course, the BEST pastor! (I'm a bit biased, can you tell?)

Things have been busy, but nice over the holidays. Taigen was able to get a few days off and we have enjoyed the time spent together as a family. The kids got tons of new games and puzzles and toys for Christmas, so there is no lack of things to do with them when we are all home.

On New Year's eve, we had a family from our church come up and eat dinner with us. They are so sweet and such an encouragement to us. Marshall and Shaylen love their kids. After dinner the kids went out and played in the snow. They came in with rosy cheeks and icy noses. For those of you with kids, you know what I'm saying when I tell you that it seems like it takes so much more time to put on all the snow gear than it takes for them to play outside.

We have gotten pounded by two big storms this week. One started very early in the morning on Monday. Taigen thinks we got about 5 inches. The other storm started on Tuesday afternoon and lasted well into the night. Taigen was out bright and early snowblowing. I'm thinking we got another 5-6 inches. It all looks so beautiful. We are having a cold spell right now, but next Wednesday is supposed to get up into the 50's! It will seem like spring.

There is no new news on the house. We are still waiting on the Lord for His perfect timing. The kids are ever so faithful at praying that we would sell our house soon. Would you please pray with us? I know many of you already are. We are eager to move down nearer to our church family. (Until then, it is a gorgeous commute!)

We hope you have a blessed New Year!
