Thank you Grandview Baptist Church for the new pool.
We love it!!

The kids had a great time at the beach. The people who made this possible for the kids this year are talking about doing this every other year. If you are interested in doing this with the kids next year, pray and then contact me.

We have a great group of youth here from PA. They are getting the water tower finished and the kids here at the house are having a great time.

Piano Recital

This is Jenny and Jessica at their first Piano Recital.

Rosa had hip surgery on Monday (21 January) She did really well. Her right hip is now in place and should be in a good position to help her to start standing up and learning to walk. She was released on Wednesday and we are headed back to Shell today (Thursday). She will have this rather large cast on for 6 weeks and then Dr.Wolff who God so conveniently put in Shell recently will remove this cast and replace it with shorter leg casts to help to straighten her feet. Rosa has been a real trooper and I am sure will be spoiled rotten by the Tia's when we return to Shell.

Christmas 2007

Here is a song for you that the kids and some of the Tias sang before we had our Christmas dinner. Each of the children got a gift to open and they were all thrilled with what they got. The older girls got new dresses and were very happy that they could put them on and get all dressed up. The boys all got cars and are still playing with, and sleeping with them. It is a blessing to see how such a small thing can bring such joy to a child.
Thank you all for your continued support and prayers.
In His embrace
