Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

Boy has time flown by already. We have been super busy with details on a fixer-upper home that we have a contract on. We feel good about the price we are getting, the area, and the investment on the house. I am, however, feeling very overwhelmed by the amount of work that this home needs. The prior owners were smokers so are going to have to paint every inch of this house and get new carpets. On top of that, the home needs many other random things to be fixed- the stove, the garage door, gutters, flashing, and the list goes on.

Please continue to pray for our family- that we will agree on home improvement projects, that God will give us guidance on making the right decisions and finding the right people to get the job done. Also, please pray for all the details that a move entails (this is first for me other than apartments) and that God will continue to provide for us. We are so blessed for all that we have already; may we never loose sight of this.

Finally, I wanted to update photos from over the holidays. I wish I knew how to do a cool collage but I don't know how to. Would love a lesson if you know how.

Getting a fresh cut Christmas tree.

Fun at Oma and Opa's house.

Making bread with Daddy.

This is what I call ice skating on tortilla chips!
