Still Working Out What it Means to Be Saved By Grace

We might be mid-life but we are still
trying to discover the depths of faith, family and how we are to be
Christ-agents in this world in which we live. We are open to explore, ponder and
discover how God will use us in this phase of our lives. We desire to refine and
adjust ourselves while we reconnect to our pasts and make this transition to the
future. It isn't really about the destination but more about the journey....We
use each of you to sharpen us and hone us to be the people that God intended for
us to be. Will you share the journey with us? We love your comments!

Christmas Highlights

Dan's PJ's were still a hit!

I am always struck by the fact that many are anxious to see the Christmas season gone as soon as the 25th is over. Well- not this girl... I like it to linger because it will soon be January and all will be plain... the house always looks so bare after all the soft lights and twinkle. It will be cold and this year, after so many years of basketball, there will not even be that to distract us. No more of our kids on the the court. No more special weekends in small towns on Wyoming playing games.... ah, but I have gotten off the track.


We had a wonderful holiday, although we did miss the girls and Ben so much!!! Here are a few highlights.

Cookie decorating... Farve lives on through Jer's original...Tara did most of them beautifully!

Wonder of wonders.... Dan joins in the fun... his first cookies ever... one for the State of WY, of course!
CHRISTMAS EVE:

Lynn's Famous Cookie Tray for the Family Gathering

The K Christmas Gathering- Alan's Family in Charge this Year


The Aerobic Twelve Days of Christmas

Christmas Eve Soup Supper- What's Christmas without Children and Special Guests? This year Lindi's niece Tiffany, Skip and daughter Cocoa from the Boston area joined us. A very special time....

Lynn's Parents: Maggie and Daddo were there this year

Charlie and Cousin Kapri
CHRISTMAS MORNING:

We Don't Open Presents Before our Orange Juice Everyone had their own glass that was chararcteric of them. Dan's game... you had to guess which one was yours. Seating arrangement at the table was a pattern each night. Dan had us guessing that too. Charlie is totally on Dan's wave length and has nailed it every time.... All the years with Dan have paid off...birthday orders, middle names you name Dad did it! Smile....

Ornaments for each one.... compliments of Mrs. Merry Christmas plus WUS hats from Charlie
Of Course... new Packer Gear from Maggie and Daddo....
Daddo Wouldn't Wait to Open His Presents

Thanks for putting these up! The PJs picture is with flair.

When people asked our traditions, I said the cookie tray and tenderloins for Xmas dinner.

And Daddo never waits to open his present!

Ok, it's been two weeks - you need to do a 'my new quiet life with danny post' or something.
