Sorry...AGAIN!!!!

...for the delay in posts. I watch other people's posts, so I know how annoying it is when there is nothing new to read or new pics to look at! :)

I am slowly getting back into the groove of things again with our usual schedule after such a nice, long break over the Holidays.

Our church's Christmas Program went great. The pics following this post didn't turn out very well, but I will post them anyways. Our robes were HOT, as you will see! :) haha

We had a pretty busy month of December with Christmas parties, Christmas programs, etc. But it was a good month, and we had a blast the last couple of weeks when we were both off. We had our small group over for New Year's Eve (our gracious in-laws let us use their casa since they were down in NM). It was so much fun, and even Jasmine got to have a lil play date with one of the other dogs, Keenan.

We also painted our living room (pics follow). That wasn't "fun," but it looks very nice now, and it wasn't too horrible (at least the first day of it, anyways). :)

Well, I think that about sums our December up for ya! Hope everyone is having a good 2009 so far. We'll be in touch!

XOXO

Update

Sorry I havent posted anything in a while. The time has been flying by. Which I am very thankful for, in a way, because I have a 1.5 week vacation coming up for the Holidays! yea!

Just wanted to post a few pics (cuz everybody likes to read things with pics, right?) and tell you what's been up with us lately....
Well since my last post, we had a wonderful Thanksgiving meal with the DeGroot and Middleton fam. AND the Cowboys won, so that made for a PERFECT day in whole! :)
We also made a trip halfway up into the mountains. :) We wanted to go up to Breckenridge, but the weather and traffic was HORRIBLE, so we only made it to a cute, lil town on the way up, called Georgetown. We walked around, purchased some yummy, homemade caramel corn & had some lunch.
Chris and I are in the choir for our church's Christmas program, so we have been practicing alot for that. And doing other church activities like meeting with our small group, and I went to a Ladies Christmas Party this week, which was a blast!
Chris' work has been pretty unstable and sporadic. He'll work everyday one week and then NO days the next but have to work from dawn til dusk that Saturday. So please continue to pray for us and him as we try to figure out what to do about his job situation. Chris is really not sure if this is something he wants to do long-term or not. AND I will let you in a little secret so you can also be praying specifically for this.....Chris is thinking about going back to school to be a radiographer. This is the person who does ultrasounds and such.

Ok, that's it for now. Love you all. Until next post...... :)
Georgetown


First REAL snow...FINALLY!!!!!!

I had to put pics of our baby girl with her new bandana that Nan bought her. It says "Labs are cool. Other dogs drool." hahaha :)

Our undecorated (at the time) Christmas tree. Hard to believe it's our 2nd Christmas together! :)

A Few Family Pics

So the Middletons and DeGroots got all dressed up in matching colors and decided to take some family pics up by the pond behind Bill & Patti's house yesterday. Hopefully, I can add more later of the whole fam, but for now, I just have a few that we took with our camera....



This one would have been GREAT except my JUNK CAMERA got blurry! :(

Quick Update

Well, here in the CO foothills, we finally got our first snow of the winter. Though, as you can see from the pics, it was barely a dusting. And sadly enough, it doesn't look as though more will be coming anytime soon. Darn global warming!!!! :) haha
Just wanted to give everyone a quick update but there's not really much to tell. We have just been working, eating, sleeping and throwing a few church functions in there. It seems as though Chris and I will be joining the choir for the Christmas Show at our church, and we have really been digging deeper with our small group, too.

Well, I suppose that it is for now. I just didn't want anyone to continually be disappointed with no new posts, if you were one of the few regular checkers! :) Have a blessed weekend!
