What we've been up to in 2008...so far.

Wow--is that actually a picture of me? on my [Zoe-filled]camera?

This was New Year's Eve...we celebrated at a friend's house among many friends. We look forward to what 2008 will bring! We are so blessed!

We went to the Zoo with Trisha (& Soren and Addy). Zoe was only 4 months old last time we went--she enjoyed it a lot more this time (Hint, hint Zoo membership makes a great Birthday gift...ha)

ZZZ... We had to wake Zoe up at 8:00 Christmas morning!'m sure that there will soon come a day where we are lucky to get to sleep 'til 7!

Finally a posting!!

Here's a picture of the fam at our Christmas Eve service at which Paul had the opportunity to preach. He did a great job--God has really gifted Paul in sharing the Word. Did I mention that he is going to China this summer--For 3 Weeks! Please pray for the preparation for his journey.

We were truly blessed to share Christmas with lots of family! Paul's parents, My mom and Bill, and grandma arrived on Christmas Eve. We enjoyed several days with a housefull!

Hey Blog-viewers...Is anyone out there? I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. We had a nice trip to Chicago to see family. Zoe got to meet her uncle Rob and her Great grandparents (my dad's parents) for the first time! She ate lots of tukey and all the trimmings including, of course, pumpkin pie.

Her new tricks are clapping and waving. She is starting to stand, unassisted for moments at a time...we think she will take her first steps any day!
