Edwin got this Tractor Piggy Bank from Mom and Dad

Edwin has on the saftey goggle's from David's Christmas present, but I don't think he even realized that he had them on wrong! How cute!

David playing with his tool set that Mom and Dad gave him. He loves it, but I think the batteries where almost dead just from that night of him playing with it. : )

The Christmas Tree!

Eldon and Edwin

Mother and Edwin

Edwin was so intrigued by the snow globe, b/c he could press a button and it would start snowing. He played with it for a while.

Christmas with the Nolt's.... Pictures for Janae

Here is a picture of David. For some reason, the little stinker thought he needed to kick at me when I took a picture. He is really getting big, and trying to talk more, but for some reason, he doesn't understand how to make word sounds, he only know's how to grunt and scream!

Eldon, David, and Edwin. Look at Edwin, when you tell him to smile, he always squints... and Eldon thinks he always needs to make a funny face. Crazy Boys!

Here is the picture that Janae, my sister made for me. I was actually talking to her on the phone at the same time. She called our family on Christmas Eve from Germany, so she could talk. It was nice to talk to her agian. "It's beautiful Nae, Thanks a lot! "

Brent holding both of the boys. They were in a rare mood that night. Mike and Rosene, went to the barn to milk, and so they stayed with Brent and I. We had fun with them, we played Hide and Go seek!

Edwin being found during the Hide and Seek Game. He was hiding underneath the table.

Jon and I opening presents

Jon got his Dr. Suess books, and wow was he excited!

Abby Girl

Solomon and Eunice were our Outreach Directors in Bolivia. They have been here in the States since November, and are planning on going home to Kenya at the end of January. We were glad to be able to spend some time with our friends here in our home city.

US

I didn't think about this at first, but this picture was taken exactly 2 years and 3 months after our wedding. Time fly's when your having fun! Looking back over the time since we have been married, wow has a lot gone on, and I wouldn't change it for anything. God continues to work in our lives and hearts and we pray that He never stops doing his work in us! May we have open hearts and minds to your WILL Lord! Father, Thank you for our MARRIAGE!

Evening with the Mwangi's

Solomon & Eunice, and Abigail Mwangi. Last night we got to spend the evening with Solomon and Eunice. It was fun to be together here in the states, and reminisce about Bolivia.

She is so CUTE!

Shots from the our 3rd Floor

This is a shot looking at St. Mary's Catholic Church. Jon and I love this church b/c on the hour it plays beautiful hymns on the church bells. It's so beautiful.

This is looking out back towards the upper south side.

Welcome to 1258 Spruce St. Reading

This is our house!!

We are so glad to be back in our house again. It's slowly feeling like home more and more. Once the boxes and Rubbermaid containers are gone, I'm sure it will feel even more homey. My mother came up the other day and helped me make some swags to help make the house look a little more like Christmas. It helps on the outside, but on the inside, there are no decorations, no tree, just boxes and stuff. We would love to have you visit, just give us a call.

Moving and Unpacking

This is all our stuff that we had stored in Mama G's attic while we were gone. We had more stuff than we thought.

This is our bedroom. We had so much clothing to deal with. Putting the summer clothing away, and finding all our winter clothing. NOT FUN!

Cherishing the Moment!

David in his barn boots, playing with the dogs!

Here is the dog that will one day hopefully join our household.

This is a weimaraner. It's a Pointer dog, or hunting dog. I'm waiting for my brother's dog to have puppies, so I can get one too! So cute!

Our New Car

Here's our new car. We just purchased a 04 Dodge Stratus SXT. Its nice to have wheels again and extra space for our long legs! : )

The other morning I was driving home from the gym around 6:30 in the morning, and the sunrise was so beautiful. So I stopped the car and got out and took some pictures. God is so amazing!
