We love you, Amber!

What a miracle!Amber is one of those friends, that life would not be the same without. So we are most grateful God's mercy was abundant for her and the many others on the plane. What an unbelievable experience. Kudos to the pilots, crew, passengers and rescuers. Amazing job, truly part of a miracle!

Amber is a CHAMP and we love her!

Lesson Learned

This little guy- Causes lots of this-

When it has to be retrieved from your nostril!

Removal occurred (thanks to Dr. Dad, assistant Lisa, and bear hug Mom) without any further damage, just a lot of TRAUMA for Caroline.
Lesson learned-we hope!

Jesus wants Caroline for a SUNBEAM!

A sledding we did go!

Sledding with the Sorenson's

A sledding we did go,
a sledding we did go,
hi-ho it was freezing cold,

but a sledding we did go!

Down right GIDDY!

I really have been trying to be good this year, and my efforts have paid off. Everyone may not have noticed much improvement, but at least I made it on to someone 'nice list.'

New counter tops can do wonders for a woman! My family has gotten used to the fact that I wander through the house spinning in circles and enjoying all of the new counter top goodness. I am a giddy girl!

Computer Woes

Seriously, computer are NOT my strong point. As a matter of fact I know close to nothing about their inner workings. Our computer has been on the mend for some time now because of some minor 300+ virus it had acquired. Bless this computers heart!
But let this be a warning, when I get a hold of those NAUGHTY antivirus 2009 folks, I will be opening up a serious can of 'whoop sass' on their behinds. For the love people, go organize a closet or something and STOP messing with my computer!

Daddy Update

My family and I very much appreciate all your thoughts, concerns and certainly prayers on behalf of our dad. They have been felt and much comfort and strength have been taken from them. Dad is getting better everyday. This is a slow process, but we are reminded that patience is a virtue! He is getting good reports from his doctors, even got to skip cardiac rehab because he was doing so well. (doctor thinks dad can rehab himself-woohoo) He took a double whammy with his diagnosis of diabetes and quad by-pass, but for all of you that know him, it all is just a change in course, he just keeps doing what needs to be done. He is quick to remind us all this is just part of the journey, and we are so grateful to have him with us to enjoy the journey! Love you Daddy! Blanket the grandkids had made for him (and the dog) to snuggle up with.
