Love lets the past die. It moves people to a new beginning without settling the past. Love does not have to clear up all past misunderstandings. The details of the past become irrelevant; only its new beginning matters. Accounts may go unsettled; differences remain unsolved; ledgers stay unbalanced. Conflicts between people's memories of how things happened are not cleared up; the past stays muddled. Only the future matters. Love's power does not make fussy historians. Love prefers to tuck the loose ends of past rights and wrongs in the bosom of forgiveness--and pushes us into a new start. Lewis Smedes

Please pray he passes and that it's easy, that he's not nervous, etc! :D It's been almost two years of not being able to drive...it'll be nice to finally be able to go out as a family, heh!

My Hair that is... :D

By inmates in a Rehab center in the Philippines... It's awesome!

My mom has been visiting here for the past two weeks. It's been lovely having her here. It's been so long since I've been able to spend time with her like this (probably 8 years). I saw her two years ago...but we didn't spend any time together, so this is nice. She's going be living here-- taking care of my Grandmum. It'll be nice having her close by.

Emilie eats very little...but when it comes to hot dogs she can eat a lot! Here she is eating a huge German frankfurter :)

We do have another version of the tree, hehe! I'll take a pic of that soon. Here are a few pics of what the kids helped with. :D













THIS tree is the ultimate girly Christmas tree. It's in the girls room...they decorated it themselves. Had to have the flower lights. :P
