Changes

Bear with me as I re-do the decorations here on my blog. I'm just trying to learn how to do one thing at a time, so it might take me a few days.

Ice Skating

On the 26th we went ice skating. Well....actually, Amanda, Crystal and Janelle skated, and the rest of us watched. Janelle did ok with the skates on, walking across the floor to the ice. Once on the ice was a different story. She is not real coordinated in things, so was pretty shaky on the ice. She held on to Amanda and Crystal for dear life as they made it around the rink one time. I let her rest for a few minutes, then told her she had to do it again. She does not have much stick-to-it-tiveness---so I thought it was important that she try again. The second time around she held on to the wall and walked around. The third time a couple of girls from the church who were also skating held her and got her around. I was pretty impressed that she made it a 4th and 5th time around the rink. She took one pretty hard fall after the 3rd round, but still made it around again.

Seems that blogger won't upload the pictures tonight, so I'll try again tomorrow.

More Christmas Pictures

Playing Catch Up

I'm going to put up a bunch of pictures from our trip to the States....but I'm not going to try to get everything in order, that will take too long and get frustrating.








Let's see...we have Matt and Crystal, Richard and kids, Lancy on the big screen via internet on Christmas morning, and sweet Jocelyn, 1 1/2.

Back to Mexico

We leave tomorrow morning, Jan. 3rd, to head back to Mexico. It should take us about 40 hours of driving to get there.

Tonight we are celebrating Taylor's 7th birthday! Tomorrow is his actual birthday, but we will be on the road, so we partied tonight. He asked for pizza and pop for his dinner, so that is what we had. We are thankful to have Taylor in our family. He is a great kid!

Please pray for us as we travel back home again.

Boise--31 Years Later

Amanda flew into Casper last Wednesday night, and Matt and Crystal were due to fly in on Thursday night. Only problem for them was that their flight was overbooked, and they got bumped. Turned out ok, as they were able to get onto a Boise flight, and not have to get into a car the next morning to drive with us to Boise. So far, so good. Thursday night we were again checking the weather reports, and saw that it was supposed to snow some 10 inches on Friday in the area that we had to drive through. We decided that we probably wouldn't be able to go. Problem: Matt and Crystal were in Boise. Friday morning, after again checking the weather reports, we decided to go ahead and try it, and threw everything into the car and headed out. It was a snowy, windy trip, but the roads were not slippery, and we made it through fine.

We had a great Saturday and Sunday visiting with Richard's brothers and folks, and cousins getting to know each other who had only met once or twice in their lives--many years ago. We missed having Lancy, Kathryn and Nikki there, but had a good time together.

Sunday night Caleb checked the weather reports again, though we weren't planning to leave until Tuesday morning. They looked worse than they had a couple of days earlier--10-14 inches of snow expected. After much debate about the snow coming and the thought of getting stuck in Boise and not being able to return to Casper for a few extra days, we decided at 9:00 last night to start the trip back a day early, so once again threw everything together and loaded up the cars, leaving there at 10:00pm, and arriving here in Casper at 11:30 today. It was another snowy, windy trip, but thankfully we made it through just fine. Haven't checked the weather reports today to see if they got the 10 inches they expected, but we are glad to be safely home.

Merry Christmas
