Peering out the window, we realize that the falling snowflakes are as numerous as God’s blessings in 2008—simply too many to count. Laura (7) and Julia (4) are growing taller and looking more like little ladies all the time. We are praying that they will learn to love the Lord more and yield their lives to Him. They continue to do well in homeschooling and enjoy making new friends at church. Laura is a veteran flower girl now after filling the role twice in the last year. She began piano lessons this fall and had her first recital last week. Julia, our little “monkey” who loves climbing on everything, is learning her letters and numbers. Each day brings new joys and discoveries. Two hamsters died this fall, but both girls moved on pretty quickly.
