Wow! Long time no blog, eh? Maybe I've lost my entire audience. I've spent two weeks without email and TV. How wonderful! We did, however, take an evening to watch The Return of the King at the Warren Theatres in Wichita.

I spent one week with my family and one week at the Urbana Missions Conference. All five of us children were home for the holidays and the week was punctuated with Pente games, Christmas caroling, late nights talking, and late mornings waking. It was so fun as the entire family piled into our minivan and we made stops all across town, caroling our friends and family with "Joy to the World," "Oh Little Town of Bethlehem," and "The First Noel." The only problem was the fact that Mother was losing her voice (due to a bad cold) and so... Mama sang bass, Daddy sang tenor, me and little brother would join right in there...
