Well, Praise the Lord for His mercies new and sweet every morning! this Christmas was special quiet, and wonderfull with just our small family- growing in size!! We are expecting a second child in early August! Hallelujah and Praise Jesus! we have been praying for this little one for over a year- and in His wonderful timing He has done it! What a reason for rejoicing! Thought you would all like to see some pictures of Ole Israel this CHristmas 09' as he is growing and more able to take in all the lights and fun aspects of the blessed holiday. You will thoroughly enjoy these I am sure! :-)

Happy New Year to all of our loved ones near and far- Let us look to our only hope and reason for joy in this dark and lost world we live in. Jesus Christ our Lord! Praise be to our God!
