November –

Bo and Kiej’s wedding ….a chance to reach back and touch our former neighbors/landlords as we went to their daughter’s wedding reception in the city.

You don’t usually see the Groots decked out so nicely…

Bethany was impressed by the ice carved vase.

December

Dad Groot came to join us for Christmas with the kids.  He’s an amazing example of someone who is willing to try anything with an open heart and a willing spirit.  We hope we have many more visits with him!

Daniel, Ryan and Naomi went to visit the International Community School where they spent their school years in Thailand and came away with alumnae gift bags from Rebel Houston, the boys’ former discipleship leader.

What is there to say?
