We had an extended vacation over New Year's because of the way the date's fell. We decided to use our long weekend to take a trip to see our dear friends, the Brown's. The trip was great. I have officially decided that I have the best travelers ever. They seriously made the 4.5 hour trip with hardly a fuss, and we didn't even have to stop. *side note: the trip home wasn't quite as good, but Owen and I had a little head cold and we had to stop for a meal making it a little longer. Despite my feeling during the last half hour of the trip, I think they still did great considering. We really just spent the New Year visiting with our friends and eating lots of snacks (a wonderful cheese ball with strawberry preserves and some artichoke dip that Taylor made and a buffalo chicken dip that I made per Matt's request.) The kiddos had a blast (I think Dylan has her first crush-on Micah!), and we even got one day pretty enough to play in the grassy spot across from the Brown's house. The rainy day wasn't so bad either as we had a fun day at IKEA and Mellow Mushroom!
He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God? Micah 6:8
A Little About Us
We are a family of five, and I have chosen to capture a few of the highlights of our lives in this blog. My motivation is that I want my forgetful husband to be able to remember even the little things about us. I also love an easy way to keep our friends and family a part of our lives. I hope you enjoy reading a little about our daily goings on, but please remember: while our lives may seem nice and put together on paper, this is a blog. I can assure you that we are constantly messing things up around here. We are thankful that our sins have been washed white as snow in the blood of Jesus.
