Now that Christmas is past, I think it is maybe time to do a little blogging again. It's not that I don't have anything else to do... My house still looks like Christmas. I think maybe we'll take the tree down tomorrow. But then again, that is what I predicted for today. Oh well, first things first. I have pictures to share and a few stories to tell.
We spent New Year's Eve with our friends, the Bergs.
It was a cold, cold night but almost everyone went our for a little sledding and skating. I was so proud of my Filipino kids. It was SUPER cold even for die hard Minnesotans, but they were out there braving the cold just like everyone else. It's hard to believe that even two months ago, none of them had even seen snow, let alone played in it before.
We had a rip-roarin' time playing JENGA later that evening. We have JENGA in our "game room" at home, but I'm embarrassed to say that we never play it. I'm not sure why??... Anyway, we had a great time and I will definitely pull it out in the future!
We were in the Philippines on New Year's Eve last year. We were at CSC up on a hill watching the city explode with fireworks. It was incredible!! I have never seen or heard anything like it...and probably never will again. At that point, we didn't realize that three of those kids were ours. God knew. He probably smiled that evening as He thought of how our story would unfold this year. It makes me wonder what is in store for 2009!

I'm sure God was smiling last year. This year certainly has been joyous and we feel priveleged to have been able to share it with you in our own special way. Whenever the boys are ready for another sledding adventure let me know. I have a great little hotdog/hamburger joint picked out for lunch.
