Just like last year, I created a 2008 Year in Review video.

Mimi can’t handle northern climates very well. It is usually a little cold downstairs so she stays on the heating pad most of the day.

Ben’s baptism was really special.  After praying together as a group, Ben said he wasn’t finished praying so he knelt down and finished on his own … I had to take the picture!

Some dear friends and their grown daughters spent Thanksgiving with us this year.  I have to say it was one of the best holidays we’ve ever had! They even helped me cook!  The last picture shows what the dogs were doing for most of the day … sunning themselves and wishing they lived in a warmer climate!

Yes they grow quickly … but it is still surprising!  Zac is now taller than his Mom!

… Getting to just sit and chat with Zac.
