January 2010

Oh dear...here I go again posting once per month. Time flies...

January has seriously flown by. We've been busy with school, and really not much else! We had our annual New Year's Eve party after enjoying Christmas with the family.

Nathan started two new classes at Los Medanos College today (Statistics and Spanish) so we'll see how those go. :)

January is a month of transitions. Every year it seems to go by so quickly, yet it is a time of reflection on the year that just passed. The busy-ness of Christmas is over, and the cold days of winter lie ahead. Personally, I enjoy rainy days in January. Makes me want to stay home and be cozy. God gives us all sorts of weather and we really don't remember to thank Him for all of it. It's easy to complain and whine about what we don't like (like I do in the heat of summer) but in God's perfect creation it all has its purpose.

As we look ahead to February...my little Nathan boy will be 18 years old on the 11th. My first born son...18?!?! How can that be. I'm not old enough to have a child who is 18, and getting ready to graduate...am I? I suppose I am. :)

Enjoy our December and January pictures...and I suppose I will post again next month.

December and January

Took these last week during our huge rainstorm. There were little sparrows hanging all over the north side of our house to get out of the wind. So cute!

Lizzy and her gymnastics instructor Ms. Dorothy after their "show day" last week. Lizzy did a great job!

Tim before his speech presentation - demonstration speech on self defense.

Dan and Trixie...cute!

Grandpa was a good sport and let Lizzy paint his nails! Or should I say he's a good sport for letting his picture be taken?! :) We all had our nails painted...all but Tim...it's true.

Grandma and Louie

Christmas Dinner fun!

Christmas Day!
