Good Stuff.

Sing new songs of praise to him;
play skillfully on the harp and sing with joy.
For the word of the Lord holds true,
and everything he does is worthy of our trust.
He loves whatever is just and good,
and his unfailing love fills the earth.
The Lord merely spoke, and the heavens were created.
He breathed the word, and all the stars were born.
He gave the sea its boundaries
and locked the oceans in vast reservoirs.
Let everyone in the world fear the Lord,
and let everyone stand in awe of him.

Bowling

A few weeks ago we went bowling.

We had won some tickets at a Christmas party, so I guess

it was kind of like Christmas in January ;)

We took Josh and Cameron with us too :DIt was fun just hanging out ;)

Yeah, so none of us are great bowlers, AT ALL!
But at least nobody went sliding down the lane, and we all had
double digit scores!

Josh got the highest score out of all of us and was pretty

happy about that.

I was only one point behind him, so I wasn't quite as happy...

We had a really great time though!

Hmm...

Go measure the heavens with your span;
go weigh the mountains in the scales;
go take the ocean's water and calculate each drop;
go count the sand upon the sea's wide shore;
and when you have accomplished all of this,
then you can tell how much He loves you!
He has loved you long!
He has loved you well!
He will love you forever!
~C.H. Spurgeon~

Hip Hip Hooray!

Dad and Mom got back safely, and we are all home!
We (us 3, Uncle Joe, and Aunt T), braved the snowstorm
and drove to O'hare to get them. Crystal drove from Dekalb to
the airport, with Uncle Joe being a great guide!
The plane got in a few minutes early, baggage claim was a breeze,
all 6 of the travellers have really dark tans :/ and I can't wait
to hear all the stories!

So all that to say,
WELCOME HOME PARENTS!!!!!
So glad you're back!

Random Pictures

Wow, here's a picture from way back in December!

This is our awesome homemade ornament that we got from

our friends the Lee's one year!

Also, the weekend before Christmas, Wolfgang and Lauren

invited us all to visit their house and go to the Willow

Creek Christmas service. It was a really neat program, and we

all had a wonderful time!

Our group :) Rachel's very "uniquely wrapped" Christmas present from Criky.
For Uncle Ron's birthday (January) a bunch of us went out for
dinner. We always have a great time when we get together.

:D:D Rach and I got to sit across from Uncle Jim and Aunt Pam

at Uncle Ron's birthday dinner. It was great getting to sit and talk

with them! "Last picture" of 2009.

We had fun on New Year's Eve, and then right before the countdown

to '10 we snapped some fun pictures!

The day after Christmas we went to visit Grandpa.

He really wanted some live music, so I serenaded him (however

poorly) with some violin music.

:D And Karley. She can always make me smile!

Day... uh nevermind...

Well, we had good intentions! We really did!
We were going to blog just about every day while
Dad and Mom were on their vacation... And as you can see...

Well, the last post was from Day 2, and now its Day 13 and
they come back on Monday... SOOO, needless to say that didn't
end up getting done.
And really we don't even have many pictures from the stuff
we've did while they are gone! :(

When Dad and Mom get home we're going to blog the pictures
they took, but in the meantime, you'll all just have to
settle for what you can get ;)
Enjoy!
