For this sunday I though I'd post a vidoe I hadn't watched in a long time. Every time I watch this it send chills down my spine. Jesus is awsome.. always with us, always feeling our joys and sorrows! Thank you lord for being with me through the good and bad! And thank you for saving my very soul!

Christian's surgery

Christian is back home doing fine now after having his surgery this morning. He had tubes put into his ears and his tonsils and adenoids taken out. Christian says he's a little sore, but other than that doing great! On the way home he asked me if he could go to the Lego store and get a new Lego for being so brave. When I told him we would go when he was feeling better he got very upset, saying that he felt fine!
Thank you everyone who helped out today, and to those who brought over good things for him to eat and fun activities for him to do while he recouping. Discharge papers says no school for 7-8 days but the doc said some kids feel better sooner than others. Let's pray for a speedy recovery!

Oh..the weather outside is frightfull!

We are snowed in! Yesterday we got hit with about 3 inches of snow, and today we stayed in the twenty's. Now all you Utah people are probably saying wha'st the big deal.. Well us Oregonians can deal with rain and flooding but not SNOW! No, studs, no chains, no going anywhere! Although today after I about lost it with cabin fever, I talked Dane into going to FredMeyer (the store that has it all!) We bought Christmas presents, food for the next couple of days, and some entertainment for the kids...oh yeah, and snow gloves!

Tomorrow it's gonna stay in the lower 20's and then Wens we'll get dumped with some more snow, but ohh we're not done yet! Saturday possibly a FOOT of snow and maybe even some freezing rain!

Now I've always loved the snow..but that's because in Oregon it usually melts by the next day..letting us all go on with our busy lives. I guess this is Gods way of saying slow down! I just wish our house was bigger to spread out in, we're driving each other bonkers!

BTW - See our lights on the house! At night it's lit up like a Gingerbread house! It is so bright!
