Quick Update!

Hey!

It's time for me to get back into my blogging... It's been suffering terribly from neglect, but I hope to rectify that from here on out.

Before I start posting projects, though, I want to share that my family and I will NOT be moving away from here anytime in the forseeable future. That's right... Due to the current economy and the tech industry, the Singapore Project is, for all intents and purposes, dead. We will not be moving overseas, as far as we know. Bummer for us, since we won't have the cool experience of expatriation and being able to check out so many different countries within a reasonable distance from our home, but that's how it goes. I'm sure God has a plan for all of this. I just wish I knew what it is! LOL!!!

So, that's the big news from here... Now I get to start posting some fun stuff again!

Blessings,

M.

YIKES!!!

OK... I am a total blog flake!!! Never mind that we didn't have internet access from Dec. 11 until last week... Never mind that we got some BIG news about our future the day after Christmas...

...I'm still a flake. Sorry for the ultra-long blog silence! I promise I'll be better about posting from here on out (barring anymore unforseen circumstances -- LOL!!!)!!!

Anyway, wanna know what's going on with us? We're going to be MOVING! Not to the next town... Not to the next state... Not even to the next country! We're moving to... SINGAPORE CITY, SINGAPORE!!! This summer!!! DOUBLE YIKES!!!

I never thought I'd have an opportunity to live overseas... Wow! I'm so blown away! Harry's company is building a new fabrication facility in Singapore, and he is on the start-up team! Did I say, "WOW!"??? Wow. Exciting and scary at the same time. Wow...

More later!

Hugs & blessings,

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like...

CHRISTMAS!!!!!!! See all the beautiful white stuff God sent to us on Saturday?!? We awoke to 4 inches or snow, and then it continued snowing into the afternoon, and we ended up with SIX inches that day!!!

The boys went sledding twice on Saturday and had an absolute ball! What a wonderful day!

Aren't these trees and bushes in our front yard lovely?!? I love snow-laden trees!





















This is the view from our back deck, Close to the middle of the yard...


And this is the view from the deck, into the right-hand corner of the yard (the rose arbor!)...























Here is the left-hand view of the yard...
























And the bird feeder...


I tell you -- with each change of season, I always marvel at the things God has created and how well He orchestrates them all! Everything designed to perfection... such amazing variety (even no two snowflakes are alike)... Our God is AWESOME!!!
