Philip, who's pictured here came back and wrote on facebook about the wonderful weekend with friends, worshiping God and fellowshipping, and how God's been teaching him about family this year...and I just happened to have this great photo...

While on the deck taking pictures of the beautiful beach I turned around and was struck by the warmth and friendship visible through the windows...

Not terribly well composed, but I thought they were fun anyway:)

More dinner making

Elijah--dancing and clapping and singing and running from room to room saying hi to everybody. Soooo sweet and cute, I loves him:)

The drummer girls and Nate (Janis got her drum for her birthday and Mom got hers for Christmas and they are excited for any excuse to use them together:)

More to come:D Next, pictures of our midnight drum circle/worship session. The boys slept through it even though our bedroom was downstairs and it sounded like they were literally pounding holes through the ceiling!!! Woke me up. I didn't actually want to be asleep and miss the New Year's celebration anyway, I just couldn't keep my eyes open any longer. So, I was Glad to be woken up. I was really excited my kids stayed asleep though ;-)
