Our Christmas Letter 2009


Twas the Night Before Christmas 2009

Twas the night before Christmas and I sit down to write
All of the ideas in my head are having a real fight!

It is often overwhelming to look back through the year
God's faithfulness and provision are ever so near

Michael has been working very hard for the family he loves
While our every need was met from heaven above!

He has been working for B-Line driving the bus
And selling, delivering, and moving safes to provide for us.

The end of the year brought the end of our store
But God continues to bless our (now) home business galore!

Kristi is busy schooling her kids, answering phones, and being the social planner
She can't imagine her life in any other manner.

Zane is growing before our very eyes, not only in height, but maturity too
He has kept busy with piano lessons, classes, and being a reporter for our church's news.

Andrew has kept busy with activities of his own, like guitar, legos, and reading
He uses his gift of humor to bring laugther when we are needing.

Brianne is already four, but wishes that she was older by far.
She began gymnastics, loves to sing, likes school work, and going to the park.

Our days are very full with the busyness of being a family of five
Through His grace and mercy is the only way these parents survive.

We are so grateful for the events of this past year
And look forward to His will as we look ahead from here.

We wish you a Merry Christmas filled with blessings and more
As we remember the birth of His son, for that is what Christmas is for!
