Six on Saturday

"Let your eyes look directly ahead and let your gaze be fixed straight in front of you. Watch the path of your feet and all your ways will be established." Proverbs 4: 25-26.
1. Thank you for prayer. what a blessing. "We also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character" Romans 5:3-4.
2. Last thursday we found out that Pete's request for Sundays as a regular day off was honored :) starts in february, for the upcoming year.
3. My parents travel to Indonesia, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore very soon. I'm so glad they are enjoying retirement. Have fun you two. Know that we miss you, love you & pray for your safe travels.
4. I'm excited to see what is in store for us in 2009. With the combination of #2 and #3, we will be able to have a regular family day and the temptation of sacrificing the family day to earn income will be gone.
5. Pete and I had it on our hearts to be more intentional about our family time. We hope to do an easy activity together before dinner time especially on nights we don't have plans. We are using a boys' devotional book we received as a gift last year.
Last night was the first night. "Seed the Need: Getting a taste of the joy that comes from taking care of others. Helping feed the birds near our house".

Making a pine cone bird feeder.6. We've been getting back to a 'regular routine' in the new year...the wonderful opportunities for Christmas celebrations have passed. so we are back to everyday life.

we chuckle when the kids finish a water bottle and want to save it to create something

Cycling around the local park

Blessed with a gift of Sea World passes, one of the first things we did was head over there! The weather was still nice and cool

Running errands together, the boys wanted a picture of them "exploring God's creation" said the older one..

Passing time popping "bubbles" on the bubble wrap...in the Sprint store,

while mom takes care of stuff

Blogging has really increased the number of pictures I take. I look at this post, and am amazed at how fast time flies. the boys are growing. Our life is like a vapor-goes so fast. I truly feel blessed.
