Our shepherd and angel take stage

We had the Children's Christmas program scheduled for last Sunday, but alas, all church services in the surrounding area were canceled due to severe weather (the roads were sliiiick with ice)!!  So today, a few days after Christmas, we enjoyed the program at church.  Micah is the shepherd on the far left in sea foam green, ;-) and Joy is the smallest angel front and center (her first Christmas performance). :-)

Family Snow Time ;-)

Yikes - it's been awhile since I've been here on this bliggity-blog. I have a number of photos I've been meaning to post throughout December, but wow, the time just flew by with holiday prep/festivities and home schooling. I want to get some more pics up soon, but for now here's a little snapshot of some fun in the snow yesterday.

Goodbye, oak leaves, see you falling again next fall.

It's that time again - hauling out our leaf bags to the curb (just shy of 60 this year).  Mr. Van is thankful to be sleeping in his garage again; he had to hand it over to the fall foliage weeks ago...
