My girl is 12 now!

It's been forever since I've posted. Well... a month, anyway.
In that time, we've celebrated our 13th wedding anniversary, Marten's birthday, Caleb's birthday, Mary's birthday, Rebecca's birthday, (we didn't forget Joey) and Nicolle's birthday. January is anything but boring!

Nicolle had her first boy/girl party at our house. Yikes. I'm ok. Ahhhhh! No, really! :D

Her two best buddies stayed for a sleepover, but the 'boyfriends' came from 7-10 last Friday night. Marten and I were banished to the computer room (we're so embarrassing) and they opened presents, goofed around, watched a movie, ate snacks and took pictures. We gave Nicolle a Sony camera. She's very happy about that.

It's now 12 days away from our Disney trip and I can't tell you how exciting that is for us. We are SOOOOO looking forward to it. I'm going to be warm. Most days you'll find me in turtle necks, fleece and cuddled in a blanket. Give me summer!

That reminds me of Andy Rayner. As we speak, he and his son are on a mission's trip in Africa. You can read all about their amazing work in his blog, which is listed in my list, off to the side, over there, --> --> Check it out. They are doing some amazing things for the Lord.

I'll finish this post with a Valentine's card for you (Marten's getting the actual one!). I hope you enjoy the day with your loved ones and feel down right special. You are! Love you, Karen
