What's Up?

We haven't posted anything for way too long. We are OK - just got a lot going. We had a good Christmas in spite of not being able to go to see our family in California and Oregon. We did get together with friends over the holidays having Christmas breakfast with our neighbors and having an open house for our church family. Over 100 people came! It was a lot of fun.

We got to see the grandkids on ichat for Christmas day which was a highlight.

Janice remains very busy substitute teaching and really enjoys it. She's also teaching a Monday night Bible study for about thirty women in the church thats going really well.

Bruce has finished a few more projects around the house - new window seat in the dinning room, the railing wall for the the stairs, and started on shelving in the hall closet. Since we got some warm weather he started our shed that we'll use for storage and gardening stuff (lawn tractor, etc.) Its framed out and the rough siding is up. He's hoping to get the roof on in the next week or two. Still lots to do though.

Here are a few photos of the Christmas season.
