January/February 2009



It is still very cold and grey here. We wish we had John's weather - in the 60's/70's and sunny!!! We are all doing well though. We took a trip with the chapel to the Edelweiss Resort in Garmisch, Germany. It was a quick weekend but fun. It was a retreat to try and become an even more effective military family. So, even though I had to be in classes, we made time to go swimming in the pool and play in the snow as well. 

Abi had surgery just after that. She had her adenoids removed and had her ear drums cut and the fluids drained out. She is much better now - and was very big and brave. James had had the same procedure in November, so I was prepared and was able to tell her exactly what she would go through. She informed me that we needed to have a pink cake and invite her friends over to celebrate her surgery. So, the Friday after we did just that. It was a good evening and everyone had fun. 

February is a favorite month of mine. We hope to have fun and celebrate with our friends. A Valentine Brunch is planned and a night out with the ladies for my birthday. 
We hope everyone is well. Please keep John and his unit in your prayers, and also please pray for a quick return! Take care! Miss you all!!!
