Eat your Heart out, Clint!

Clint just has to see what muppet personality I turned out to be...I can't believe it myself!

The Last Day of 2006!

Wow! It's already behind us...2006. I always reflect a lot on this day every year. Time has passed so fast since I got out of high school, and especially since I had my children. Have you made your new year's resolutions yet? I haven't...and won't this year. My resolutions are the same every year, and I can't say that I do so well. So, I won't set myself up for failure this year. For those of you disappointed with me, I STILL have goals: to live for and serve the Lord my God every day as in years past and even better. To be an excellent wife and a teaching and playing mother with my five wonderful children. They are growing up so fast: my oldest will be 15 years old this year (sniff, sniff! ). Anyway, have a wonderful last day of this year and live for the Lord in the next. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

New at Blogging

I've read some blogs in the past, but I never realized how entertaining blogs could be until I read Clint and Rita's. Now, for some reason unknown to me, I also have a blog. Go figure . . . it is a nice way to keep in touch with people (or rather, them keep in touch with YOU). Today has been a regular ole vacation day. The Schags got back today--it's really nice to see them again! I need to get to my wash, which is all piled up from the dengue days! Blogging another day!

A Different Kind of Christmas

This was a different kind of Christmas. The whole deal started on November 21, the day our son, Seth, got the dengue fever. He was in the hospital for 5 days. Eight days after he got out of the hospital, our son, EJ, got it too! Two days later, it was me, the next day, Sophie, the next Morgan. Last of all were Aaron and Matt. Anyway, to make a long month short (impossible when you have dengue!), we spent Christmas at home because Matt was still too weak to go anywhere. I barely got the tree up and presents bought. Hardly any goodies make either. Definitely a Christmas to remember--or forget . . . We're all better now, and we have lots of people to thank! Margarita (from our first church in Caracas) came to cook and take care of us--bless her, bless her, God! Some ladies from a nearby church came to clean my very messy house--que pena! Two Venezuelan churches took up love offerings for our family. We are a thankful, on the mend family!
