A Picture-less Post

Hello!
It seems that every time I get on to update you, time has flown since the last time. I say it every time, but it is still true!
I don't have any pictures for this post, but I have a new one coming soon... as soon as I find the cord for my camera! So far this new year has brought all kinds of things.
*My mija is six months old!!! I can't barely believe it! She is cute as pie, everyone should have the pleasure of her company.
*My other friend who had a baby the same week I have gotten to spend more time with, and her daughter is so precious, I am grateful I get to be a part of all of these babies' lives. My prayers are that they grow up to be strong people.
*We have a new president! Though we didn't vote for him, and are unhappy with his election, God has obvioulsy placed him in this position and we pray for him, that he will guide our country well.
*We are praying about what to do concerning future children.
*Mom and Dad are headed to Uruguay in just a few short weeks. We are so excited for them, and a teeny bit jealous as well!
*My maternal grandfather is suffering from alzheimer's and a bad heart, we are praying he will pass away soon. He will be so much happier in Heaven, with the God he dearly loves and has served well for the past many years.
*I am back at work/church, and loving EVERY minute of it, volunteer and paid. We consistently are thankful that God has given us such a great church and friends.
*We moved in December, and are enjoying being closer to everything.
*We are looking forward to a family vacation with chris's family in northern michigan. It is going to be a week at a cabin with my sister in law, father in law, mother in law, and us. We are going to have so much fun!!!!!!!!!!! (extra !'s for excitement!)

All in all God has been so good to us, and even the hard times are made more bearable by His presence.
