Having fun in Florida

We're having a good visit with family in Florida this week. We
celebrated Christmas again with my parents and my brother and his family
(visiting from California!) yesterday, and had a great lunch with my
Aunt, cousins, and friends as well as my parents and brother's family.
Today we drove to Penney Farms to spend the night with Sue's mother
(that's her with us in front of her hallway's Cmas tree :-). It's good
to have some time off and see our family and friends during the
holidays.

Merry Christmas!

We are having a great Christmas season, and hope you are, too! I had
fun taking the kids shopping earlier this week, and Sue took the kids
and some friends ice skating at Centennial Park last night. We're
looking forward to opening presents (Kevin should be a lot of fun this
year :-), then hustling off to church for a celebration service
Christmas morning.

Enjoy the music, the joy and happiness, the giving and receiving of
gifts, but please remember that the true Reason we celebrate this
holiday Season is the birth of Jesus Christ! Take a look at Christmas
update if you have time, and drop us a line if you get the chance.

We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year!

Chronicles of Narnia is awesome!

We went with our church to see the movie "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe" this morning at 10:00am. It was great! The special effects rivaled the stuff seen in "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy, and they stayed very true to the book. It's soooooo cool to see the computer-generated special effects come so far as to make the stories and heroes I grew up reading come to life.

I highly recommend the movie - you'll enjoy the entertainment and get a lot out of the message behind it.

Winter Christmas Season in McDonough

Whew, it's cold and blustery in McDonough this week. Today they're
predicting falling temperatures and possible sleet - it's definately
winter! I'm taking care of things while Sue visits a friend in south
Georgia; this stuff at home is hard work! :-)

Hope this Holly-day season finds you well and prosperous! Remember: We
may call this time of year many things, but Jesus is the Reason for the
Season!
