It's been a long time since I've posted so here's a quick update of our Christmas:
I realize this may be a boring picture for you, but Im particularly proud of it because for the first time (ever, I think) I got Jeremy a gift that wasn't a dud! It's not that I buy him junk it's just that what he really wants is a new ski boat so everything else is slightly disappointing... until now. I know that a book and a boat are on opposite ends of the spectrum, but this book is special. It is actually the published blog of our friend, Steve Rehn. Steve was a Bible School friend of Jeremy's and he was a groomsman at our wedding. Steve's blog chronicled his last trip to Africa where he taught a course in linguistics and then fulfilled his dream of doing a cycling trip across part of Africa. He was just days from finishing his bike trip when he was hit by a car and killed. Steve was a great friend to both of us so that is why this book is a treasure.
Opening Presents
As everyone knows the boxes are the best thing about presents and this one was especially fun as it had a nice big window! Fisher Price thinks of everything!
Shockingly enough... this umbrella still isn't broken!
My sister and Brother-in-law and nephews all came for a visit after Christmas. These are the matching Olympic sweat shirts Papa and Grandma bought for all their grandkids... we were sad that the other two coats they bought couldn't be sitting on our couch with the rest of them! (In April we will all be together for a wedding and maybe we can try for a picture then.) After our little photo session we all went to "Go Bananas"... The perfect place for the kids to run off some energy on a wet, wet day!

What a small world. Steve Rehn was a friend of mine from High school. We lost touch after High school. I am so sad to hear that he died.
He was quite the character.
He was quite a character... if you are checking out his blog read his entry called "my personal Narnia" (or something like that) He shares a high school story in there... it's hilarious!
I was not part of it, But I do remember hearing about it though because at the time I was planning to do missions in Africa once I finished Bible School. So someone in the group made sure I'd heard about it. The funny thing is, at the time, I remember Steve and I talking about how he had very little interest in Missions. It's weird how life plays out. The next thing I know, I'm reading about him in the Wycliffe Magazine.
