We also tried to maintain our own family Christmas tradition (now two years in the running) of celebrating the twelfth day of Christmas this Saturday. After a fun-filled trip to Ikea with Grandma Sandy we had a family dinner together and let the girls finally enjoy all of their new toys. Here are the rest of the pictures from the past few weeks.
We've also started something new this year...a book that my friend Ruth sent me suggested to save Christmas cards throughout the year. Each day (or week, or whatever) choose a card that you received and pray for person or family. What a way to purposefully remember loved ones throughout the year! We're hoping Mali will soon join in this too...the other day at breakfast she asked to pray for her friend Jack and then for her friend Adi. We had been talking about Jack earlier in that meal but her suggestion of Adi was pretty spontaneous. Hopefully they both had good days that day!

Kaethe! I stumbled upon your website today - and was so happy to have found it! You have such a beautiful family! We are expecting our first baby in May. I have been married since 2003 (remember Matt??) and we're living near La Crosse, WI. I'm pastor of a congregation here and Matt is teaching high school science. This is really funny - I have one of your old Bibles sitting on my bookshelf in my office. I have no idea how I acquired it, but I've been safekeeping it ever since our Carthage days! It's green and has your name on the cover. If you send me your address, I can send it to you! My email address is twitterjet@hotmail.com
