We went to Disney's MGM studio's this Saturday & spent the day there. Had a great time & here are a few photos for you all to enjoy.

Our kids attend the Lads to Leaders program at church. In April we will go to Orlando to attend the Bible Bowl where the kids will be tested on their bible knowledge. Here are some photos of them last Sunday.

Hi All

Courtney & I attended a Mother/Daughter retreat this last weekend. What a wonderful time we had. We went with our friends from church Rene & Heidi, another mother/daughter pair. We were so uplifted by the meeting & really benefitted from it. Hope you enjoy these photos.

I know these are a bit dated, but I thought they were cute. We went to a Xmas get together at a friends house from church. Dave & I had to wrap arms & only use one arm each to wrap a present. We won. I guess that comes from 13 years of marriage. Don't you love the antlers. They had bells on. You can just imagine Dave's joy at having his picture taken with antlers on his head.

Took this of Kyle tonight 01/22/07. Last night was the play offs to get into the Super Bowl & Kyle's team, the Colts, won. He was so thrilled that he took this shirt this morning & drew this on it & wore it to school. He was so happy they won.

Took this on Saturday night while Dave was working in the kitchen. We had the neighbours kids over, Derek & Alec. They are nice kids. I made hamburgers & buffalo chicken wings & then the kids played cards.

Dave worked really hard this last Saturday 01/20/07 putting new lights in the kitchen. As you can see there is an alcove in the roof. This had strips of lights in of which only one was in working order. It has big sheets of plastic over it which had warped & perished so now we have these fancy lights in there. We could not resist taking the one of Dave's hand sticking through the ceiling.

Took these photos of Dave at work on Friday 01/19/07. As you can see he is still working out of a container office but the roof of the new workshop covers the container so at least when it rains it does not leak. The white truck is Dave's work van & the last photo shows one of the drill rigs that he manages.

Happy New Year 2007. Hi All, hope you have had a good New Year. We spent our New Year weekend at Blue Springs State Park just north of Orlando. Normally you can swim here in the clear water but in winter the manatees come here for the warm water so swimming is banned. You can see two manatees in one of the photos. We saw lots of fish & alligator too. Had a lovely weekend just getting away from the buzz of town. Wishing you all a very prosperous New Year.

The kids in front of the shell of a tree that was struck by lightening, & Kyle on the boardwalk to the head of the spring

This is the head of the spring. It has been closed to the public now because of erosion but you can take a boardwalk to view it
