It has been an eventful 2013, complete with location and personnel changes in Michael's endo practice, preparations for moving to a new house--including building the darn thing, having a baby (how did we ever live without this little lady?!), changes in callings at church and being welcomed by so many new friends in our new ward, trying out new sports (lacrosse? Yikes!), ballet and piano lessons out the ears, new puppy Gretel, new scars, new places visited, scores of beloved visitors, new stories to tell.
We cherish the challenges and opportunities 2013 afforded us and hope that as a family we have shown the Lord through word and deed our gratitude for his blessings to our family: "What shall we give to the Lamb who was offered, rising the third day and shedding his love? Tears for his mercy we'll weep at the manger, bathing the Infant come down from above."

For some reason this just barely showed up on my Feedly, even though you posted it weeks ago. I was so excited to see it, though. I love your family picture. What a beautiful family! And I LOVE Penelope! Congratulations! Wish we could all get together. Perhaps you need to take a road trip to our neck of the woods. It's very pretty in the summer.
And I had never read all the words to that carol. I love the tune and I knew the first couple of lines, but I didn't know the rest of it. Wow, so beautiful.
Anna I just looked to see if I still had a blog and found yours. I think of you and your sweet little family often. I love the family picture and realize I am way behind in knowing the family. I have met your first four and loved each of them so I am sure the rest are just and smart, sweet natured and well behaved. I can see from your post that you may not even be in the same home. We have 4 grandchildren now and keep very busy. Hope to hear from you. I am on facebook if you are and have posted a new family picture. jakejunekuitert is what we are under. Tell Jacob hello from Mrs. Kuitert. He is still one of my favorites!
