pardon while we play
Eric decided to give our little blog a face lift. Let us know what you think of the pictures!

Me flying a kite

It is 27 degrees. All four of my car doors were frozen shut this morning and I wouldn't dream of leaving the house without my coat, scarf, and mittens. But the sun is shining. And at first glance, it feels like spring.
We had a great weekend in New Hampshire with the youth group. Tons of pictures are on facebook (Eric did a great job putting them up so the kids could see them right away) (it took him over three hours because he was so tired and they kept commenting on them). Hopefully, when we are feeling better, we'll update the blog as well.
The long weekend took its toll on us. I was miserably sick all last week and this weekend and am not sure how I will make it through another five day work week. Eric is spending his day off on the couch trying to feel better. We are quite the pair.
Being sick has given us a chance to really slow down and appreciate what we have. You don't realize how nice it is to breathe out your nose until you can't.

Happy Valentine's Day
We wish you lots of love this happy hearts day.
And not just the sentimental flowers and romantic dinner kind (although they are nice too).
Since college, God has challenged me to really show love to others during this holiday. It didn't originate as a "Hallmark holiday" and any reminder we have to show love should be accepted.
We sent Valentine's to loved ones and are ready for our weekend adventure with the youth group. We are praying for couples going through trials and loving on as many children as we can. All of these small things really add up to a lot of love. And that is what this life is all about.
We encourage you to be a light and love to someone this Valentine's weekend.

If you need a few suggestions on how to do this - - you could pray that:
the long drive to and from with the teenagers and is safe and uneventful
the leaders would stay healthy (some are already not coming due to illness)
the leaders would able to keep up with the kids (we are not spring chickens)
the Lord would do a wondrous miracle in their hearts
fun in the mail
this lovely little letter was in our mailbox from a dear friend
we have been nibbling away at the little bar
thank you sara!
