Europe was fun,   but we are so glad to be home!

Here it is . . . Christmas Eve 2012 . . . and we are reflecting on the past year, enjoying the present moment, and looking forward to the future with eager anticipation!  2012 was a great year, the highlight of which was our fantastic, once-in-a-lifetime 45-day Europe Travel Adventure,  made possible by the fact that our daughter Tracie and son-in-law Wes are living in Belgium, so we were able to stay with them and take day-trips to visit several adjacent countries.   Praise God from whom all blessings flow!

Please click this link  or click on the image below to visit a website that we set up where you can scan through some of the thousands of photos from our adventure.  A suitable narrative is still waiting to be written, so for now we'll have to just let the photos tell the story and we'll add the narrative later.

While the big news last year was Jason and Monika's wedding, we neglected to mention that Jason added yet another new job.  In addition to managing his own business, FixAim Marketing, one of his clients, Marco's Pizza, persuaded Jason to join their team as director of local store marketing.  So now, as a first time husband, he has the awesome challenge of managing  three full time jobs.  More about that later.

In May, Patti and Tracie met in Washington D.C. and took a mother-daughter excursion to Cancun.  In August, Patti and Wanda took their annual sister trip.  And in September, after too-long an absence, Joe and Patti finally returned to Washington State for a visit -- and to celebrate  Greg's 45th birthday,  and to enjoy some fun with our one-and-only grandchild, Madi, who is now six.  To see some nice studio portraits of Greg, Cathy, and Madi from our Seattle trip,  click this link.

Finally for now, if you would like to see a preview from one of our new projects that will eventually include a full calendar of 365 short  What's the good word for today  messages, please  click this link.

Signatures Hope to hear from you soon!
