Pressure
oh no, here comes the pressure! now that i have officially started sending (handing out to church friends and family. i'm dutch) out christmas cards, WITH our blog address on it, i am finally forced to be more faithful in updating this. i will do my best to give updates every few days. i know that there are a few of you out there who actually read this daily, so this is mostly for you. :)
today we had our annual christmas program at church. the boys did great! they even asked sam to sing in a small group at the last min. so that was exciting. i have some video on my camera so i'll work on seeing if i can figure out how to put that on here. it was a blessing to see those little ones up there singing their hearts out to Jesus. yup, i even shed a tear. (kathy, you too? :) i know God was pleased by the sweet sound this morning.
ryan and i had a great weekend away. we were able to get away overnight on friday. we spent the evening shopping downtown and then dinner with our dear friends, tim and tammy. we made a big dent in the christmas to-do lists so the trip was well worth it. the trip home was quite eventful. a ton of snow in north seattle and bellingham. i think we hit 25mph coming thru samish. crazy amount of snow. sadly enough, very little fell here north of lynden. our boys woke up to green grass and showed MUCH disappointment in that!! my thoughts are, if it's going to be 25 degrees and blowing,(which it is!) it may as well snow. much to the boys dismay, there will be NO snow day tomorrow.
off to do some laundry.
have a blessed and WARM sunday!
