In the beginning....God

Genesis 1:1, "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.

Inauguration Thought

Some trust in chariots and some in horses,
but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.
Psalm 20:7

Psalm 19:1

The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Psalm 19:1

Tree Cutting

Well, on New Years Day we cut down our only tree in the backyard. It was kind of sad......It had some disease and was mostly dead, so we got the chainsaw, gloves, and work crew (aka the kids!) out! We are hoping to get another tree to replace ours.
Any suggestions?

It's starting to go!


Watch out below!


Finally down.....


Eric also cut down one of our small front trees.

Fun Times

Early December our good friend and her family got a horse,
and she invited us to come out and ride the horse.
It was a beautiful Kansas day and we took advantage of the sunshine!
Here are some fun pictures of our time there.
