A New Year Has Begun

The holidays have come and gone and here we are in a new year... 2012. We were blessed to be together, with the whole family, for a week in December. So thankful for every minute we had together. Grace and her family came December 14th and stayed for a week. We always love our time together with her, Paul and our grand babies. Colin and the boys were home from December 16 - January 24th. The time flew by, as usual, and the guys are back on the road and Paul and Grace are back in Havre. School is back in full swing and we are already looking forward to summer break.

When the guys left here, they headed for Alabama. Men's retreat, revivals and singings will keep them busy for the next several months, through AL, VA, NC, GA, FL. We are so grateful that God has provided a way for Sara, Megan, Tommy and I to fly out east and spend a week with the guys. We will fly to Washington DC and meet them there for a day of sight seeing with our good friends, Paul and Cathy Horton, as our guides :o). Colin and I will attend the Couple's Retreat while the kids get to spend time with friends in VA. We are SO looking forward to this little vacation and time spent together. You never really realize how important family is until you are separated.

The next four months the guys will be busy travelling the east and the rest of us will be here in AZ, with Grandma, who is doing pretty good for her age. Speaking of Grandma, she will be celebrating her 95th birthday next month... Stay tuned for pictures of that event.

I will try to update every now and then on the reports of the revivals. But until then, enjoy some random pictures of the past couple of months...
