Our Son....

...and friends have decided to honor a classmate of theirs.

This friend of theirs is fighting leukemia and they have shaved their heads to show support of him.

Yes, Kenny's parents are a bit surprised that he has taken this step since this is the same young man who FIGHTS going to the barber!

It's amazing what the right motivation will accomplish!

Way to go guys!

Snapshots from Today

Sasha got a haircut today. Also, a new sweater that is easier to put on. While exchanging a jacket for Nathan, I came across this poncho for Cressalyn. With hat and gloves the set of 4 pieces was only $4!! I couldn't pass it up! Don't my girls look gorgeous?

While this is not the coldest in the United States, we are only 2 degrees warmer than Watertown, WHICH IS the coldest place in NY State! I'm thinking of getting boots for Sasha. I saw some today and she really is not fond of frozen paws!

Kids Winter Fun Day

Monday, January 15 we had a winter fun day for the kids! We had hoped to play in the snow. But there was only ice! And lots of that!

We made penguins and baked them to take them home!

Some look more like penguins than others!

We made snowflakes! Just like snowflakes, God made us one of a kind!

Just for fun, we raced each other in cup stacking!

Then 2 of the BIGGEST kids decided to challenge each other! I don't think one of them was playing very fair!

It was great fun!

Please pray for one of our girls who came for the day. Later that night she fell in her driveway at home and broker her collarbone!

The Gathering '07

We had a wonderful time at The Gathering in Orlando! I told a friend it was a huge blast from the past! So many faces of those who were part of our lives as kids, teens, in college, and throughout our ministry! It was a wonderful time to catch up with so many people!

We have seen Tim Hawkins, who is a Christian comedian, before at a Children's Pastors Conference. We have a DVD and CD of his, too. It was a great surprise to find out he was going to be at The Gathering! We laughed and laughed! Then after the service I asked if he would be willing to let us get our picture with him...for our kids! He agreed! My he's tall!

Robin Mark was the worship leader for the conference. Now, I had come across his name before but really hadn't made a connection with him and his music. Boy, do I have one now! He's awesome! He's from Ireland and has written many worship songs including one of our most favorite, "Days of Elijah." I now have other favorites that are his!

Ok, I'm not one for lizards of any size. This one was on the palm tree just outside our room. There were several the nearly got stepped on by my feet. That would not have been a good thing, in case you are wondering.

This is a dragon fish. He lives in a tank at a Chinese restaurant we visited. Personally, he's got quite a look about him. He's also very large. The picture doesn't do him justice! My sister-in-law, Sally, thought he was so very sad about living in his close environment. He's always frowning!

This bird was on a car outside the Chinese restaurant. I tried to walk slowly toward him, but he would walk slowly away from me. He flew over to this car, but landed on the door frame and then SLID to the hood! What a hoot!
