MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR

We hope you have had a Merry Christmas and have a great start to the new year. Seems like just yesterday that it was strange to write 2000 and it is almost 2008!

These pictures were from the Salado stroll earlier in December. This has become a family tradition for us. We had the opportunity of going twice this year- once without kids and once with kids. Both times were great. The "adult stroll" was fun because we got to go for the first time with new friends, the Bakers, and with some old friends that have moved away, the Cittys. We went back the next night with some friends from school in Salado and all their kids. We saw lots of church folks and even a guy that I taught in Eula, Coyne (the original Cutter's brother). Both nights were topped off with a big ole bag of Kettle Korn which made for the perfect evening.

Happy 2008!!!

Houston Christmas

Scott took a Sunday off and we actually went out of town! We went to Houston to visit the Penlands. Each time we go the kids do their best to destroy their beautiful home and we do our best to keep them from it or at least hide the evidence.

This is our second year to visit during the Christmas season and the twins have become very fond of Barbara's snow village. Last year Cutter just blew all the snow away because Barbara told him it was hot (ask Barbara) but this year the little snow people went ice skating and hiking in the snow!

We also made a trip to the zoo. It was just like being in Abilene in the winter- cold and windy! All in all it was a really great day.

Most of all I was glad to see that living in Houston has not caused the Penlands to lose their sense of humor! (Maybe the traffic has made them go a little nutty but that's all!)

High School Football, Crocs, and The Cross

Sound like one of Scott's three point sermons? Not hardly!! (He typically doesn't do "three point sermons" but I really haven't heard him preach since about March of 2005.)
Last night our family traveled to Corsicana to watch the Salado Eagles play in the State Semi-final football game against Tatum. Tatum is the defending AA State Champions so everyone knew it would be a tough game. It was truly one of the best football games that Scott and I have ever seen. Both teams played hard the whole night. I have known a lot of the Salado boys since they were in the 7th grade and they are a smart, athletic, and good bunch of guys. Unfortunately, they lost 41-31. With about 2 minutes left there was a series of penalties that put Tatum in position to score one last time so the score really doesn't reflect how tight the game actually was.

On the way home from the game we thought the kids would sleep. Cutter talked nonstop until just south of Waco. At one point we were listening to a Breakaway CD (which i highly recommend) and the song went like this:
"At the cross. I find peace at the cross. " etc...
Suddenly from the back seat Cutter says, "Hey mom, they talkin bout my Crocs."
So, there you have it- high school football, Crocs and The Cross.
