Welcoming in a new year!

A year ago we had no idea 2007 was going to be so incredibly full of surprises! God has shown us His faithfulness in every little thing that has happened this year and we are so thankful for provisions for our family. We have been so blessed with wonderful grandparents who love us and want to live with us! We have also been blessed enormously with friends who have been part of our lives. Some are not living close to us and some we haven't even met yet but we are ever thankful for their friendship and love. Blessings abounded in so many areas that I am at a loss for the right words to describe everything!

Sunday we had the pleasure of watching it snow! Okay, it was only a dusting but for here in the valley a dusting is more than we normally get so we greatly enjoyed it! Oh, yes the trampoline is ripped.... We've had it for 11 years and it finally gave up the ghost and quit on us.

After the snow began to melt the water drops hanging from the trees were shining and glittering! It was glorious to see!

This is our new home at the beginning of the new year! That is the front door and to the left is the entry-way to the library. This is what is done so far: The four walls of our part of the house are done, we have a pantry, a library, an entryway, and a powder room! Prayerfully we will be living in that house by this time next year!

This is looking at the library from the kitchen area. Off the to left of the library is the powder room which mom plans to have locked all the time unless we have company so it will always be clean!

Today part of the family is helping my grandparents move yet another time this year! They decided they really needed to be closer to the property and the house so when a house went up for rent just TWO houses down the road from the property we knew it was God's will for them! My grandparents are beginning a new year in a new house and hopefully next year they will be settled permamnently.

I hope and pray you all have a blessed and eventful new year!
