Date Night
Last night, one of our friends hosted Date Night…delicious dinner, fun games and fabulous fellowship. It was the first time we have arranged for an actual sitter to come watch the kids in ages. Other than team meetings, it is the first time since arriving in St Pete, back in July, that we have actually spent an evening without kids. It has probably been more than 2 years since we have had an official paid sitter. The kids loved getting to have a special evening with Ms. Luba and I loved getting to have a wonderful evening with Keith and great friends!!!

Emme~isms
Emme: What will I look like when I grow up?
Mommy: Probably like me.
Emme: Oh, so I will have gray hair too?
Mommy: I think there might be a bug going around school.
Emme: I didn’t see any bugs!
Emme: Does God speak Spanish? Russian? Does He know more than you? Wow…He must be smart!!!

Bible Study
We have a great group of college students that come to our home on Friday nights. We sing, study scriptures, have tea and treats, play games and the Wii. Please pray that God would continue to grow and bless this group.

Valentines in January!!!
This morning was another difficult morning for Gideon. After such a fun, relaxing weekend, the thought of returning to school caused another major melt down!!! I had to push him out the door crying!!! A package on this very day was such an encouragement to all of us on this dreary, cold day!!! Granny you rock!!! Thanks for the Valentine’s treats!!!
