J's first day w/ mom

-
Today was my first full day with only Jonathan. We walked Caleb to the bus stop and then came home to shower. We cleaned up the entire house in about 20 minutes...that doesn't happen normally. Then we went to FCA to drop off some coffee to a friend and went to Sam's Club together. After we ran home the frozen stuff, we headed to the library for preschool time. We are going to be regular attenders on Wednesdays at 11. That hasn't happened since I only had Ashlyn. They made bead necklaces, read 3 stories, and watched a book on video. He seemed to like it. We headed to a thrift store by our house and found some used soccer stuff there. Ashlyn and Joshua started their fall league last night. Jonathan was so excited to find a brand new Yoda backpack there for .50...he LOVES Yoda and I have never seen a backpack before at the stores. We will use it for misc until he starts preschool next year. He picked Stuart Little to watch together after lunch while I worked on some laundry. It has been fun to snuggle together with no other distractions around. Here are a few pics from our day...we finished our necklace after lunch and he posed with his new backpack...

Merry Christmas from our crew to yours! We are thankful for 2024 and all that it brought to our family. God has been gracious and merciful to us as we hope to glorify Him with our lives and figure out our next season of life. We had more ups than downs this year and are excited to see what unfolds in 2025. John and Deanna celebrated 26 years of marriage this year and were able to celebrate with an anniversary trip through four National Parks in CA and NV. It was an amazing trip and of course urges us to travel more this coming year while we are healthy enough to hike and have more time on our hands in this short season. Other family highlights of 2024 included seeing the Total Eclipse, watching the Chiefs win another Superbowl, and spending time together all six of us at home or on vacations together a few times this year.  John spent the last year continuing to volunteer with Partners Worldwide, his business mentor group, and our church, Bethel Baptist Church. He started a contrac...

The peer pressure of the internet

-
So I have been invited about 5 times to join Facebook this past year and it seems lately most of my adult friends are joining. I have been afraid to join, not because of the crazy psychos out there, but because I know the time I would lose once I joined. I keep going back and forth and am driving John crazy using his account all the time to email friends I haven't talked to for awhile. He keeps telling me to get my own account. He joined last year because his youth Sunday School Class was all on there and it was better for them to discuss and email through Facebook . He is just now using it to re-connect with other people or talk back and forth with KC friends here (he no longer teaches the youth at church). When my friend Sara joined she said her inbox was full of friend requests and how crazy it was to get requests from people she never really talked to back in high school. Is it rude to just decline those people or is the "cool" thing to just have a bunch of friend...
