New Years Day

We spent New Years Day with Neil and Rachel Rae, these are some of the first friends we made in Scotland. We had a very relaxing day eating, talking, eating some more and trying to entertain children indoors. It was a really great day, this is one of the last chances that we will have to spend with Rach and Neil as they head off with OMF http://www.omf.org.uk in early March. Some of you may remember that I asked for prayer for this family last year, Lucie is a living miracle of the power of Prayer. Anyway here are some photos Enjoy

Christmas

Mike and the Girls Christmas Morning

Greetings to everyone, We pray that you have had a great time over Christmas and the New Year. Thought I'd fill you in on our happenings.

We had a very peaceful Christmas day, unfortunately we didn't wake up to a snowy Christmas but it was very white care of a very heavy frost. After opening Presy in our PJ's we had pancakes and Ice cream for breakfast, (I know but it is only one day of the year). As usual the Children got some great pressies and I can say I did well also. We potter about the house in PJ's till about 11am, having made the calls to grandparents. We went to some friends for Lunch and Dinner, which was just wonderful, they wouldn't let me do anything- not even the dishes. So apart from cleaning up the mess after the children descended on the tree I did nothing else apart from my 2 favorite things --- eat and talk.

This being our 2nd Cold Christmas is sometimes hard to believe. I must say that I haven't really missed have 35c on Christmas Day. I feels more like Christmas in the cold and dark. I'm sure it is going to be few years yet until we have a hot Christmas again.

We have had a blessed year.

But We must always remember that OUR Savior Lives and that is really all that is important
