Making Trail Mix

 Josiah and I made some yummy trail mix for a New Year's Eve snack.  The dried cherries were so much better than the usual raisins. It was delicious!

Fall Trip

In November, we were able to take a trip to Southern Oregon, and go to the Redwoods.  We were so near the California Border, we actually crossed over on our way home.  It was a beautiful hike through the forest.  The kids had a great time!
 

Mr and Mrs

 

We were so thrilled for the wedding day to finally arrive.  It is a blessing to have such a wonderful daughter join our family.

Snow Day!

It snowed after Christmas in the beautiful Pacific Northwest!  Just like a brand new year, the snow reminds me of a fresh, new start. Mikayla and I enjoyed a walk in the crisp fresh snow.  There is something so peaceful and quiet walking outside with the ground and trees covered in freshly fallen snow.  

As I think about a fresh new year, I am looking forward to all the Lord has planned for my life. I hope to grow and learn and draw ever closer to him.  I hope this year brings you blessing upon blessing!
