Merry Christmas!

I know its been a months since I last posted anything but life has been busy!

The end of November we went to Rome, Assisi and Florence in Italy and had a great time seeing all of the churches, old buildings, countryside, and so much more.

It took awhile to catch up at work, but I did in about a week.  Then throw in the holiday season with decorating, making cookies, and shopping and December went by fast!  I have spent the past month working on scarves for presents so that has been fun, challenging, and annoying at times (the rolls of yarn I buy keep ending up with knots...not from me, but from the manufacturer cutting it and then just putting a big knot in it halfway through the thing...very frustrating!).

Since my last post, we received a new correspondence child with Compassion International.  Her name is Flor and she is from Peru.  She just turned 10 years old and is the cutest thing ever.  She brings our count up to 5 kids total.....3 girls, 2 boys.  She is also our 3rd child from Peru now, so if that isn't a sign that we need to go visit Peru, I don't know what is :)

I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.  May God's love bring you peace in the holiday season.
