"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

new year's...

We celebrated New Year's with a great night at Nick and Jessica's! (Just like last year...thanks for being such great hosts, guys!)  Our kids (and we) always love going to their house, and this year was no different.


The kids had so much fun on the trampoline and the massive bean bag that was on it!  (Doesn't this look like a kid's paradise??)



Our wonderful hubbies organized games of kickball, dodgeball, musical chairs, and who knows what else with the kids.  While we ladies sat and talked :)  


I was so thrilled that Halle made some new friends...she doesn't know too many girls here in our hometown, so this was awesome.  They had so much fun together!  Halle keeps talking about Madalynn and Haleigh, too (and I'm pretty sure I spelled their names wrong :) ).




And it is always great to get these two boys together (and they missed Hudson!).  I know I have mentioned it before, and I probably will again...but we so so so appreciate the friendships that Kaine shares with these boys!


Thanks for such a fun evening, Nick and Jess!  We love you guys :)

I'm sure it was crazy with all of those kids, but I'm also sure they had a blast.

Awe! So fun. We always love hosting you all.

We are so so thankful for Carter's good friends. We might decide to adopt him before you go to the jungle so that Carter doesn't have to say goodbye. ;) hehe
