Oops!

Well, time definitely got away from me again! It's a busy time of year, but there should be no excuse here. I'm sorry for not having updated for so long. The last time I posted, the surgery for my eyes was next on the list. I am so thankful to say that the results were as good as I had hoped, and my vision is back to normal! NO MORE DOUBLE VISION!! PTL!! It is SUCH a relief to be able to see clearly and only one of everything! The surgery went very well, and the results were immediate. But the effects of having another surgery have set my physical strength back some. Perhaps its just the final accumulation of all that has happened this year - multiple trips to Vancouver for tests/appointments, our trip to Germany in June, the first (unsuccessful) attempt at the tummy surgery in July, Jason and Dani's wedding in August, tummy surgery in September, Christopher and Corinne's wedding in October, eye surgery in November, and now Christmas! Hmm, perhaps a bit much while still recovering in general?! So I'm feeling a little bit more lethargic than usual, and seem to be needing more sleep. I suppose I can give myself a bit of a break now!

Christmas was a wonderful time with our newly expanded family! We truly feel blessed with the additions of Dani and Corinne! It has added so much to the dynamics of our family, and we look forward to seeing where God will lead these two new families in the New Year. Aaron is really enjoying his job and had completed his first course to achieve his A+ certification! We officially have our own personal computer technician in the house! Ben is taking off this coming week, and plans on getting some work done at home and at our rental unit, which unfortunately is in desperate need of a complete overhaul. But that's another story for another day!

The new year holds yet unknown adventures for us, but we are going to start off with a time of rest and relaxation in the form of a trip to Costa Rica with my sister and her husband! We actually booked this trip before either of the boys were engaged or married! So it's been long anticipated, and comes at a very good time! We don't know what else lies ahead for next year, but we do know that whatever comes, it's in the hands of Someone who has all things planned. So in that knowledge we will rest well!

We pray always with thanksgiving for all of you who are part of our lives, and know that we are where we are because of how God has used each and every one of you. May you know the rich blessings from our Lord and Saviour who came over 2000 years ago to give life, peace, joy, purpose and hope for anyone who chooses to believe! May these blessings give you much anticipation for what is in store for you in 2011.
