Talking about God

For Amy's birthday, we got her a Wonder Devotional Book – Early Reader Edition. Unfortunately, it's been a bit of a fight reading it to her. That doesn't mean we don't have chances to share with her, in fact last night was pretty funny.

Jen was explaining to Amy all she can tell God when she prays. Amy answered, "Sometimes God dies for me when I'm bad."

Jen responded, "but Jesus only had to die once."

Amy quickly interjected "and then He was alive again!"

Jen continued, "and God would like you to live in Heaven with Him."

"I don't like coffee. I only like tea" was Amy's reply.

"That's okay. God has tea."

Happy birthday Amy!

Amy turns 4 today! We celebrated with a small party on Sunday with her grown-up friends and had ice cream cake, games and prizes. We're thankful for our beautiful little girl and ask for your prayers that we would be Godly examples in her life.

Dumped!

We got dumped on with the snow this past weekend. At home we got about 18 inches and Kilchzimmer got two feet! A foot had been cleared, and then it snowed all night long – making the parking lot a quagmire.

While we enjoy winter, it's been a long one with the first snow coming in early November. We're ready for spring!

The joy of family photos

We had an exciting day getting our new family photos taken. Out of nearly 60 photos taken, you'll soon see the one that won out on our prayer card. In the meantime, here's three funny ones to show you what kind of day we had!

Kudos to Tim for his patience and ideas in getting a good picture of all of us.
