Home

"Yes!" is an answer to all of you who have been asking. Yes we miss "Home" but we have quickly realized that Home is where your heart is and this Christmas we have focussed on Christ and our kids and each other. It's changed things a lot for this 'shopaholic'!

We miss our family and friends but we know you'll all do what you do at Christmas... celebrate Christ and enjoy fellowship with those you love. We will do the same here. We will be with The Raifords and we're looking forward to being in their home for Christmas Day.

It is hard to believe that Christmas came so quickly again this year. Yesterday in church we had the pastor say something I hadn't thought of before - "As Christians we celebrate Christ all year - but during Christmas the rest of the world joins us - we need to show them how..." We truly need to celebrate Him coming with our lives all year so that others can know about Him.

We went out to Tony and Donna Duplessis (some of you know them) this past Sunday and had a good time. Their granddaughter was with them so the kids were excited to see her and have some play time. It was a two hour drive (one way) so it was a good Sunday Drive.

Thank you to all of you that have sent us Christmas wishes. Thank you Jobe for calling Samuel - that made his day pretty exciting! Thank you for the special note Les! Made me shed a little tear missing life at home and being at Mom & Dad's with everyone!

Well off to do the laundry... I'll put up some pictures real soon.

Merry Christmas!!!!! Oh how I love this time of year... It's so true what you said about the rest of the world joining us. I think that's what makes it extra awesome.
I'm glad that you get to spend the holiday with new and familiar people!! I can imagine it'll be an experience you'll never forget!
Oh, i did get your card back:( so i'll resend it to the new address... that's what i get for procrastinating i guess...
Praying for God's richest blessings on you and those around you this Awesome Christmas!!!
God Bless.
