Our days

Levi enjoys a good tickle quite often in our family :)

We've had a few warmer days lately and yesterday we ventured outside for a family walk. You gotta love that hat!!

Checking out an airplane.

Whoa! That is 80 pounds of Merrihews! What an awesome daddy they have :)

Please pray

I follow this blog faithfully: www.haitirescuecenter.wordpress.com and they are very near Port Au Prince where the earthquake struck today. They do amazing work in the name of Jesus caring for the least of these and I wanted to ask that you please be in prayer for them.

If you at all feel compelled to send financial aid to Haiti, this would be one place you could donate (tax deductible) and know that your money will be put entirely to relieve suffering.

Who needs toys?

While I was working on dinner the kids decided to entertain themselves from the cupboard...we had some pretty good giggles :)

Christmas eve and morning

We started the morning off with birthday cake for breakfast - gotta love it! Then we headed over to the presents. The entertainment Christmas morning was definitely Levi. We had gotten fruit roll-ups as stocking stuffers and Levi was on a mission to gather them all up and hold them all at once. He would get really angry when, inevitably, he was not able to hold every fruit roll-up in his little hands. We ended up having to confiscate them because the roll-ups were making him so angry. So much for Christmas spirit!

This is the best one we could get with all three :)

The 2009 highlight for me was definitely our family reenactment of the nativity story on Christmas eve. Juliana was, of course, Mary. Evan was "Jofus" better known as Joseph. Craig was a wisemen and the shepherds. I played the parts of the angel and the innkeeper and a wiseman. Levi was a sheep.

The shepherd and his sheep.

On their way to Bethlehem. At the time I guess I didn't notice "Jofus" was packing a sword!

I spy...

I spy with my little eye something ( or someONE) NEW on the Merrihew fridge! And, no we did NOT get a BMW.
