David got me a good dehydrator for Christmas and we finally got a chance to try it out. We tried fruits and veggies and herbs and fruit and veggie leather. All of it was great!

Our Snowman
We have not had a lot of snow this winter, so the kids have had to make use of the little snow we have gotten. It was finally good for making snowman so out they went and up went the snowman. He had a carrot nose and a scarf and a mouth and all the rest.
That evening we were shocked when someone from the neighborhood walked by with their dog...and they let their dog pee on our snowman! Amazing.
Pathfinders and Adventurers
The first photo is on sabbath as sonnet of the pathfinders and adventurers were leading song service for sabbath school.
These next ones are during adventurers add they are earning the First Aid Award.
Somehow I even managed to cut myself the next day and Dillon got to put his first aid skills to work.
King Tut Exhibit
We went up to Grand Rapids to go through the Kind Tut Exhibit before it left town and it was totally worth it!
We learned so much about King Tut's life as well as about Egypt, mummies, and pyramids. But the best thing of all was that we listened to the whole exhibit on personal audio devices. This was so great because my 6 year old could learn add much as my 12 year old without reading a thing. Definitely liked that part!
Bittersweet
The kids and I went north for a funeral right after the new year. Funerals are always a reminder of sin and sadness, but also a reminder that we haver hope past the grave. Jesus IS coming again and after that there will be no more sorrow or tears or death again! I look forward to that day!
While up north, we also spent time with very dear friends!
