Look Out!!!

Look Out!! Matthew is driving!! LOL Seriously, he is doing great!! He past his test on Wednesday and they took his photo and presented him with his driver's permit. He is walking proudly now. :-)
Mom and Dad are white knuckled once again. Seems strange to have 2 kids driving. He is already looking at vehicles on Craigslist and looking hard. Please pray for him as he continues to learn the ways of the road. He needs 10 hours of each: dark, daylight, snow/ice, dry of driving time and so living in Alaska you get 2 of those for part of the year and the other 2 the other part of the year. So he turns 16 in July and has to have his permit for 6 months which has to include 40 hrs of driving in those conditions...well, you do the math. He is driving in the dark and snow now and has to cram 20 hours in before we hit the daylight season...which is coming soon.

Scott and I have started an online class with CEF and, this being our first week, have found it helpful to have the other one taking it too. We find the web site a little confusing for us but we have each other to help muddle through it. :-) LOL

Everyone is doing well. We love it here and are very busy. Please continue to pray for us as we are still adjusting to all of the changes that we have encountered in the last few months. :-)

So, that is the latest with us.
God bless you all!

Happy New Year!!!

It is 2010!!
Hard to believe it is 2010 already. We pray that each of you had a wonderful holiday season with friends and family. Our first Christmas and New Years in Alaska was really fun. We missed our families but felt we were exactly where God has called us to be.

We desire more of our Jesus in 2010 and desire to grow into who He has created us to be both individually and as a family. We updated our photo at the top of our blog with a recent photo taken in December showing just how much the boys have grown. My sister-in-law wrote me to tell me that I now look short in our family photos, I told her yes I do but at least all of the tall guys around me are very handsome. :-)

We are working hard on getting our next newsletter out and will be finishing it up this week. We will be trying to send it out electronically via email to help cut cost. Please email us with your email and let us know if you would like to receive it this way. You can respond to this post as well whether you want it email or paper form and let us know.

We pray that you seek Jesus more in 2010 and that you fall deeper in love with our Savior. God bless you all!! Happy 2010!!
