Christmas Tree and Joshua

It cost a little more here,($13 for one strand of lights!), but we have a fake Christmas tree and have got to share the story through it to several cousins! From the star (virgin birth), tree (cross), lights (light of world), and gifts (greatest gift of all). I thought about it and cant remember sharing these things in the states but want to encourage you to do so.
Joshua also has taken advantage of the many visitors to our house lately by sharing the full story with his teacher last week as he walked her through his picture "book".

Merry but not too "Gay"

Not that i am feeling insecure, but the other day i was in line paying my water bill talking to a guy. The conversation seemed to be normal and we parted ways. Well after i payed my bill i saw him waiting on me outside. He appologized before he asked,(usually not a good sign), if i was gay! It caught me a little off guard and i told him i was married with children. But it did get me thinking if my accent is that bad or if the shirt i was wearing said more than i wanted!

Mother and Son Christmas Baking



This is mine and Joshua's Christmas Baking Master Piece. Joshua loves helping me cook. It was so much fun to make this Christmas Tradition together. And believe it or not we made some pretty good cookies to be in a foreign country!

Where's the White Kid?



Can you find Joshua? These are a couple of Joshua's school trips. I don't know what kinda parents he has (ha ha). Do you see any other kids with their hands in their pants. Don't think so! With that said, our kids are in a different world than the national kids here. They were born to be wild. We never see kids running around in resteraunts but our boys never sit down. Get the picture? Their daddy loves it!
