one.

one of my best friends, steph, started a 4 on the 4th last year.

so, in december she had 12 pictures from the 4th day of the month

of her 4 kids.  i loved looking at them every month--i mean how often do

we get all of them in one shot?  it was even more fun to see all 12 pictures together

at the end of the year.  [it's steph's birthday today, too!  happy birthday!]

so, here we start 7 on the 7th! 

it was 40-some degrees when we got home from church today which is a heat wave here!

we got outside for some running around, basketball and bikes.  quite the treat in january.

nico was watching football the other day with matt and asked him,

you mean, dad, it is not cold there right now and they are in america?!

oh, you south-dwelling, beach-goers in january.  be grateful!  

[and i'm going to try to do the same for exactly where He has us.]
