Sunday January 12

Hello to all! Once again time had gotten away on me. I just read my last post so I will try and go back to then and update as I remember.  We had a good set of meetings with ordination at the end. We got a minster AND a deacon. We feel very blessed now. I did all my Christmas sewing during meetings so was glad to have that done. Then I guess we where getting ready to go to Michigan for Christmas. We left December 17.  Tickets where cheaper to leave early. Had a grand time with family. Darren and Lindsey got to come up for 3 days so that was lots of fun. Zach and Monica got there the same day we did. I guess we where mostly just with family.  My baby girl turned ONE!!! Seems like she was just born!!! We had a party for her and gave her a cupcake to play with. She wasn't quit what to do with it but she had fun picking it to little pieces. The first Sunday there was an ice storm so no church. Uncle Doug's came from Kansas so it was fun be with them. Blake is in the unit so he was not there. The next weekend we all went to Goshen to see Darren's place. That was a fun trip. So I didn't get to church ever in Michigan to see my friends but I guess that's how it works.  All to soon it was time to make the long trip home. We left December 31. Was nice to spend night in my own bed.  We had Kelly's family Christmas the day after we got home. I did another party for Heidi with the Isaac family before Carissa had to leave. So we are getting back to normal life here now. With some exciting things to look forward to in the new year. Heather is getting married to Isaac from Haiti so we get another wedding in the family. Lorne and Elaine are having another baby in July.  My first cousin Lynell  had her baby on January 10 a boy Chase Rylan. Also we had another 2 babies in our congregation. One born November 30 a boy Bradin Cole and the other one born January 10 a girl Tessa Iris. It sounds like there is gonna be lots more babies coming this year. Not one from our family yet!!!! Yes I know I am writing this on Sunday but I am home sick with a cold so I need something to do. Hope you all have a wonderful New Year. Love from Kelly's
