Christmas

Wow! We have been a busy little family these last few weeks. Now for the most part our family will slow down to a less than fast pace. Although it is only October, I do want to talk about Christmas. I know that plans are not all together set, I do want to make a few comments. First I should remind you to begin to think about your christmas characters, and to begin to look for replacements to place in the empty manger here at home. Second I want to suggest that for this year you may want to suspend gift giving among you kids. We should look to doing a trip in the summer of 2011. Each of you should come with a calendar and be ready to commit a week to the family. We can set up the details of that week during our holiday. I cannot tell you at this point exactly what your dad and I will contribute, but it will be something. If you have any doubts or concerns you should call me and let me know. Otherwise this will be the plan.

Don't forget your father's birthday is the 7th of this month. Pray for your dad and I's upcoming trip. It is something we are needing very much. I would love to see a little more communication on this blog, maybe we could catch up on each other. Andrew and Kristine are going on a mission's trip at the end of the month and Ryan and Kristi will be celebrating year number one of marriage. Yeah you made it! We could use some new Gideon and Judah pictures and you need to update your cartoon family at right.

I love you all and that is all for now.
Mom
