On Christmas night, we left California for snowy Michigan! We had a wonderful and relaxing time with the Anthonys. Thank you, Mom and Dad, for all your help, generosity, and love!





Jack loved playing with his Gramma!



Jack’s feelings about going inside

Ice skating in an outdoor arena…so much fun!

This is a view of sunset over Lake Michigan…I was obsessed with these trees and their haunting beauty

Ryan and his sister Jennifer…looking for baby names! Jennifer is due with their 1st (and Jack’s 1st cousin!) in May.

Here’s the snow story: After one day of getting to play in the snow, the weather warmed up and it rained, which melted all the snow away. Sad! So, naturally, I started to pray for snow. And God gave me some! Although it started late on the evening before we left, it was magical all the same.

This one reminded me of someplace like Narnia…maybe it’s just the lamp-posts








When my anxious thoughts multiply within me,
Your consolations delight my soul.
Psalm 94:19
