I know…finally an update!
Since the Christmas letter is finally out thanks to Lauren, I guess I'd better update the website too. Sorry…it's all because of “the knee”. I think something happened to the brain during the surgery, or was it the recovery…oh well, we are trying to do better these days.
We have had some winter weather–some beautiful days of snow. Here are just a couple of pictures to share… 
As an update, I did get to Texas for a Thanksgiving-Christmas celebration with my mother and sisters. Here's one of the pictures of the five of us. We had a great time getting in a little cleaning, some decorating, and lots of visiting. 
Check out these beauties! Aren't we blessed with a lovely mother who models for us how to age gracefully! She is amazing.
And of course…we are now enjoying Karen, Jerome, Stephen and Joseph–they were the first of the kids to arrive. Here are two pictures as “teasers”.
Our lives are very full–we know we are greatly blessed and are ever thankful. I can't promise much before the first of the year BUT I will try to do a better job of updates in the New Year. There will be lots of pictures!
May your Christmas be blessed and the New Year full of the peace, joy and love the Lord brings us during this Season!
