Our New Pool Table

Taylor and Jaten Bringing in the New Year with their "non alcholic drink"

Taylor's Party
Taylor and Jate actually lost at pool one game and had to go outside and make
a snow angel in the snow with no shirt!! They don't want to admit it though!

Elise's Party
Sherese helped host Elise's party. They had to wear pj's and dress them up with gloves
and scares and make-up. They did nails, ate until their tummies all hurt and played
games and watched a movie. Then they stayed the night at Mama Pat's House.

Some More Progress

God Causes ALL things to work together for good for those who love him and are called according to His purposes. Romans 8:28

This mailbox is symbolic of this scripture and what we are claiming as true

regarding the storm and the delay on the house.

A man who will be our neighbor at some point was taking out some fence post and ran into our new mailbox that Josh had put up. He told me he felt bad about it and wanted

to replace it with one that he built. This was about 4 weeks ago.

About 4 days after the storm he put up this mailbox. I cried and told him that "I didn't know to pray that he hit my mailbox so I could have one 10 times more beautiful!"
