We are back. We were gone from internet world for a short while, but we are back again! It is good to be back in touch with everyone via internet, but boy did I enjoy the time at home and off work!!!

We had a wonderful Christmas & New Years! Jonas enjoyed his first Christmas, as did his family! First off I want to say I just realized that I was too absorbed in taking pictures of Jonas & that I did not take any pictures of my family! Really what was I thinking. Pictures of Jonas with his Mamaw, Papa, Great Granny ,Great Grandma & Great Grandpa would've been nice to have. I am still new at this, and I will do better from now on!!! My apologies to all!


We celebrated the birth of our Savior with Brandon's family early Christmas morning, then headed to the Jones' for the second half of the day. And we all received many wonderful presents, thanks to all! Especially Jonas. He did pretty good for his first go round! He even managed to kind of unwrap a few presents! He was just trying to pull off the wrapping paper to put it in his mouth, but it still counts!



Then we rang in the New Year with our wonderful friends at the Sullivans! We are so grateful for knowing that wonderful group and being a part of their lives. Here are some of us on New Year's Eve around the table playing sequence. Deb is trying to explain it to us all! It was a new one for some of us, and took awhile to catch on. AKA: Clint! Just kidding!!! We had a blast. Just spending time with our friends was such a blessing!

We were able to catch up with some old friends and had a wonderful time together at the Green's house. My pictures of that event did not turn out well. I will have to check & see if my mom got some good pictures. But Jonas & I really enjoyed getting to see Stephanie, Emily, & Kara, and of course their beautiful babies & moms!! Thank you guys so much for taking time out of your Holidays to spend with us, it meant a lot! We really missed those of you that were not able to make it. We hope to see you soon!

I just want to take a minute to say how thankful I am for my wonderful family & friends! We are blessed to have so many godly people in our lives that love & care so much for us. We love each and everyone of you. And we thank God for you everyday & the great role you play in each of our lives. We really enjoyed the extra time we were able to spend with everyone over the Holidays. And we are thankful for the time we were able to catch up with old friends! We love you all and God Bless you! You Bless us!!

I just would like to leave everyone with a scripture that God has bringing me back to,

1 Corinthians 1:4-9 I give thanks to God always for you because of the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus, that in every way you WERE ENRICHED in him with ALL SPEECH and ALL KNOWLEDGE-even as the testimony to Christ was confirmed among you-so that you are NOT LACKING in ANY spiritual gift, as you wait for the revealing of our Lord Jesus Christ; who will sustain you to the end, guiltless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.





We love you and pray that this year is full of God's blessings for you. Just as we know ours to be!
