Happy New Year!

2013 is here and has sealed all our memories and experiences for 2012. We have so much to thank the Lord for as we look back on an incredible year filled with footprints of His love and faithfulness. One of those “footprints” was our trip to Canada to see my family over the Christmas holidays!

Sauntina did so well with the flights both there and back (her first time to fly!) and we managed to escape most fiascos…save one. While Robert was holding her in the aisle talking to another passenger, those two seconds were all Sauntina needed to reach over and innocently yank the hair of a poor, startled lady!

We were able to visit a few families and friends, participate in a Christmas concert, Robert played offertory for church one Sunday, and we played LOTS of Settlers of Catan!

The war is on! Bring on Catan!

 


Mama & Dad, as a Christmas gift, gave us a trip to the Rocky Mountains! How I have missed this breath-taking creation! The Lord gave us such beautiful crisp, clear weather and we were able to capture just a glimpse of the beauty we saw that day!

She was so bundled up she could barely move. :)The top of the ice sculpure ~ love it!


Happy New Year!!!

    It was indeed a wonderful time and I’m so grateful for the technology of digital cameras…you can take zillions of pictures and delete the bad ones! We had to have caught Sauntina smiling in at least ONE of them!
