January 2014

2014 started fairly quietly in our house as none of us made it up late enough to ring in the New Year. Marie was probably the first to officially welcome it in during her 2AM feeding. The rest of January was pretty low key. Jeff had several days off of school due to ice storms and now but otherwise our normal schedules resumed.

One highlight of the month was the Father Son Camp-out with church. It was a cool 9 degrees for sleeping and so all the boys ended up in one sleeping bag. There wasn't much sleep to be had that night. The Lord did bless them with a beautiful 60 degree day after that. They enjoyed fellowship, games, and food. In the meantime, Mommy enjoyed spending time with her friends from Russellville.

We continued to enjoy BSF and small group. Eli's A.S.K. Bible Study started back up and they are having fun studying love in the Bible. We started a few new books for school and Eli has been loving learning about mammals and fish.

Valeria began the transition home this month and is now back with her family full time. Please continue to pray for her and her family for strong, healthy relationships. Marie has court this week and we will find out what the next step is for her. Please pray for the case workers, attorneys, and judge to make wise decisions.

That is all for now. Enjoy the pictures, stay warm, and God bless!
