Yes, we are still here!

Shoveling snow and ice! Welcome to Iowa.

Still shoveling snow.

Decorating for Christmas!

What fun!

The girls are done with the tree!

We got to go to a very upscale place for our Faith Academy Christmas dinner! Tom dressed up!

More decorating!

The tree before the kids attended it.

We have accomplished many things, though blogging has not been one of them! Kyrie and Lorien were able to sing in the Grandview Park Baptist choir Christmas program. It was terrific!

We've had lots of snow and ice.

Tom and I were invited to a very upscale restaurant in Des Moines for the Faith Academy Christmas party. It was very nice, and very good food, and amazing service.

We have gotten to decorate the house and tree this year, earlier than last, and with lots of gusto! We love to decorate!

Blogging is suffering because we are so busy. The church is growing seemingly all at once, and Tom is swamped with church business. School is very busy too, with the girls at Grandview very active in extra things. Kayren and Aleya are working hard for their Christmas recital too. It's seems that we just fly from morning til we drop.

We love hearing from you all.

These girls are ready to go to a concert!
