Hosting General Authorities in our Home

A picture says a thousand words. You can see from these two pictures that we had a wonderful time hosting an Apostle and a Seventy in our home. Overall, we enjoyed a very memorable stake conference weekend with Elder Jeffrey R. Holland and Elder Robert W. Lees.

a little bit at a time this room is coming along. i'm still making the pillows for the couch. someday we want a floor lamp. and the little red pot needs a flower. plus curtains. sigh. but it's still nice, eh?

Christmas 2007

Karen and Evan kicked off the Christmas holiday with a quick Friday evening/ Saturday trip to Kingwood to see Max and his parents - and to exchange Christmas gifts.


We love to play with Max. He is such a good boy, and he definitely loves his Nana and BigE.




Chris and Sarah are looking good anticipating their holiday trip to Colorado.




Back in Tyler, Roma joined us for the day. Christmas day was quiet without the kids - Katie and Will are in Spokane - Chris, Sarah and Max are in Denver.



Santa definitely made it to our house this year.
