Christmas 2012

White Christmas

We had a really nice Christmas.  Christmas day was spent visiting and having dinner at our uncle and aunt's home.  The day after Christmas my Dad and brother came for a visit.  It was snowing a lot, we ended up getting over 8 inches.  I'm so glad they were able to come and visit!  We all enjoyed having them here.  The boys really enjoyed having their uncle play out in the snow with them!

The Road Not Taken

 

The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear,
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I marked the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Benjamin Franklin

I have lived, Sir, a long time, and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth, that God governs in the affairs of men.  And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid?  Benjamin Franklin

The other day, we went to a nearby lake.
