CHRISTMAS!!!!

Hope all of you had a great Christmas. We had a wonderful Christmas here. We wanted to emphases the true meaning of Christmas. The world has totally turned this DAY into a money making business. It’s so easy to forget the true meaning. God gave us the greatest gift of all! What have we given?

The Adolescents had their Christmas banquet and they had a great time and enjoyed their time together. Especially the food! You will never believe what they wanted to eat!?? Lasagna!!! Doesn’t sound to Christmassy does it? Well, they enjoy every bit of it.

End of the school year and two graduate from high school!

Around here things are doing great. Kids are out of school until the beginning of February. The school year here actually follows the calendar year. That is because our summer months are from November to March. We for sure do not have a white Christmas. This year we almost had a WET Christmas. We have had lots and lots of rain. If we lived in low land we would be flooded out. But we live 3000 ft above sea level. Wonderful fresh air! Actually I think it is the most perfect weather on earth!!!! The kids are enjoying being out of school. They have had lots of fun between the kites and the swimming pool.

Ademar has lived with us for a long time.

Gisleide, never knew her father or her biological mother.
She lived with a family until she was 12 and then they gave her
