Paul Stefan kindling a fire - something that we enjoy each winter and that helps with our indoor temperature in cold weather, not to mention that it's very cozy!

Happy Birthday to our mother!

Our mother's birthday was on December 10th.

Since I neglected getting a picture of Mommy on the 10th, here is one taken another time, and it's a great one, don't you think?

LEI staff celebrating Martha's birthday

The LEI staff celebrated Mommy's birthday, but she wasn't able to go in to the office that day, so we sang to her over speaker phone :-) and took home the extra cake.

Peter's 17th birthday

Peter turned 17 on December 16th. It's hard to believe he's already to that age!

a great combination!

Peter is now the happy owner of not only a motorcycle, but a license to drive it!  We celebrated his accomplishment with a Starbucks outing on Thursday night.

Thanksgiving

Friday, December 12th, 2008

On November 27th, our family remembered, like many do each year, the bountiful blessings God has bestowed upon us.  We spent the afternoon with good friends, read 1 Chronicles 16:8-36, enjoyed a delicious traditional Thanksgiving meal (turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, etc.), engaged in good conversation, sang songs, ate dessert, and shared things we are thankful for.
