Can't wait for Spring!

Just today, Nathanael and I appreciated the grass we saw and the little bits of green we see from the daffodils starting to pop up. Although there is still snow EVERYWHERE, we can see and end in sight. Our renovations have also lasted all winter long, and we are determined to move in in time to start a garden at our new house!

In the time since our last post, I have been to VA and NC with the kids, skied with our son, had sugar on snow for the first time in my life and prayed over and over for the town of Waterbury. We are participating jointly with The Children's Room for the first time at a Bouncy Book Building Bash. The GMBA has a large obstacle course that we are taking to Thatcher Brook Elementary school on Saturday next week.

Nathanael and Katie (I think) are learning so much at our Bible Study on Tues nights. If you've never checked out praisefactory.org, I would highly recommend looking at this curriculum. Basic Bible truths are presently clearly and Connie Dever includes familiar tunes with lyrics that relate to these Biblical truths.

Happy 2011


I have been really bad about keeping up with this in the last two months. Since our last post, we have purchased a home, begun to renovate, celebrated the birth of Christ and Katie's first steps and birthday, enjoyed a visit from Allison's mom and sister and are awaiting the arrival of our dearest friends on Monday! :) God blessed us beyond measure last year and we are looking forward with anticipation to what he will do in Waterbury this year!

Housing Project!

We did some Christmas caroling with new friends in Waterbury and I (Allison) am going to The Children's Room board meeting on Tuesday night to see how I can get involved with this group of moms (and dads) and develop more relationships in the community! :)
