Merry Christmas (the green way - a.k.a. the easy way!) Since so many of our favorite people are bloggers or emailers we decided to send our Christmas greeting via the internet. The great thing about this is that you can actually scroll through pictures of the happenings of our year.
Here are a few of the stats from 2008:
31: people who celebrated Josiah's first birthday - a happy and healthy milestone for him
22: team members Mike took on a mission trip to Panama
12: hours driving in the car to our family vacation to Gold Beach, Oregon
5: the age of our social and self-assured Kindergartner, Maicee Anne
11: minutes Brianne (7) spends showering each morning before heading off to 1st grade
6: times, minimum, I get into my car each day
12: units Mike has completed towards his Masters of Ministry
1: goal scored by Brianne in her last soccer game of the season for under 8's
14: consecutive fighters followed by 5 simultaneously for Mike to obtain his Black Belt in karate
3: times a week I escape to my "happy place", jazzercise ;)
2: unfortunate bucks, taken by bow, made us the fortunate recipients of a freezer full of venison
365: days a year we thank God for his grace and mercy and for the blessing of family and friends
With Love, Michael, Kaitlin, Brianne, Maicee and Josiah
