Winter Wonderland

We have already been enjoying some snowfall. It is hard to believe that Christmas is almost here. It is a challenge finding a balance with Lucas between Jesus and presents. He is working on memorizing John 3:16 and is ever excited to open the Advent calendar door and receive a small gift. Everyday he excitedly asks "when can we talk about Baby Jesus and Lucas get a present!" Oh, the childlike wonder! :)

Fall Fun

Autumn has changed to winter. But, I am way behind! We have been adjusting to so many new things being back in the States. It is fun to enjoy new activities, one of my favorites being jumping in leaf piles. So, here we are in October! :)

We had a fantastic family vacation on the Caribbean Sea on the East Coast of Costa Rica. We stayed a beautiful get-away called Almonds & Coral.
