Happy New Year!


And I said to the man who stood at the gate of the new year: Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown. And he replied: Go out into the darkness and put your hand into the hand of God. That shall be to you better than light, and safer than a known way. Minnie Haskins

Happy New Year! Wow...2010--can you believe it's been 10 years since we all feared that the Y2K scare??!! What a wild trip the last 10 years has been! What a wild trip the last 10 months have been! 2010 will be a new year for us for sure! We pray that it will bring blessings not only to our family and help us to grow in the Lord, but blessings to our friends and family. God is good....he does provide!We had the pleasure of sharing New Years Eve with Robert, Lindsay, her parents, Willa & Larry, and what a great time we had. We enjoyed supper together, (thanks for helping provide Larry & Willa) and we ate munchies until we had no more room!

The kids headed off to Youth Group overnighter at the new church property. It was good for them to have someplace to go. They had some good clean fun...and silly string eventually does melt away! Thanks to Chad, Claudia, Dillon, Allie & Charles for seeing to our kids safety--for letting them be kids in a good Christian environment, and for giving them the word!

We enjoyed a quiet (well, sort of!) evening in the living room, with Robert playing for us...then Larry, and then the Wii Band Hero came out--and what a great workout Robert & Larry got! It was fun to watch them!

Backing up a bit....the rest of yesterday:


Bill & Robert got back to work on the basement bathroom that has been on hold for many, many, many months now!
Robert got the toilet set...no test on the "upflush" toilet yet as we need a new feed line. Bill worked on drywall, finishing the storage closet, and spiffying up the garage! Wahoo!

Kristin's good friend McKenzie is here from Washington to visit neighbors Grandma Sharon & Grandpa Rex....they enjoy their visits so much. This time she had her friend "Daisy" with her. She did great with our dogs & cats! Ryan & Shawnna had a day of catching up as well....phew!

All in all, a great day...complete with a 40 minute nap!

Today....the only goal--get up, blog, nap....



Everyone it seems...enjoyed the nap part!

We pray you have a great 2010....Happy New Year!

Very cool on the bathroom addition in the basement. I am particularly curious to see how the upflush toilet works out for you.
