December 2020: Christmas in our jammies, playing with the gerbils, Star Wars movies, Minecraft with Uncle Rex, LEGO, and outdoor family gatherings. Wishing you all love, joy, and peace in this New Year!
Merry Christmas, He is Born!
We skipped several traditions this Christmas because of the coronavirus, but we’re thankful for all that we do have: our family, friends, and faith.
Our celebrations included making short stops at our grandparents and my parents the days before Christmas. On Christmas day, we settled in our pajamas, opened some gifts, played with the gerbils, and enjoyed one of the most peaceful days ever.
Happy 9th Birthday Bruce!

November 2020: My thankful list -There’s still some pretty leaves hanging on. The YouTube Holderness Family has helped me laugh a bit more this month. It’s nice to see the faces of our dance mates as we dance from home again. I’m so thankful for God’s love that endures forever, and for His comforting peace in difficult times.
How do we teach our kids to wade through the turmoil of this life? Today’s devotional from Jesus Calling for kids by Sarah Young is food for thought.

Rosalyn and Pearl
Meet the two new additions to our family! Rosie and Pearl are delightful gerbils who are getting used to the sights, sounds, and smells of our home. We’re eagerly waiting until they’re comfortable with us so we can hold them in our hands.
