The weather has been so cold here this winter that we have been home building tents, playing with new Christmas toys and trying to stay warm. We are off to a cold start for the New Year but excited none the less about all that this year will hold for our family.

It is hard to believe that in a few weeks Haley will turn 5 and she'll be headed to Kindergarten this fall. Don't let me talk about it or I might cry. Evan is still as exciting as ever and will start preschool in the fall. I won't even know what to do with 2 days alone a week but am sure I will figure something fabulous out! Jed and I also celebrate our 10 year anniversary this year....how is that possible?

Jed and are I dreaming big dreams and praying big prayers for our church Restoration as well. Even though I missed our first Sunday of the new year home with a sick kid, I heard it was wonderful. We start our Alpha groups at 5 or 6 houses throughout the Dallas area next week and I can't wait to see who all God brings to each group. What an exciting adventure.

For now, we are healthy, thankful for all our friends and family and ready for 2010!
