Lastly, this was my gift for James this year... a custom made mantel with Jer. 23:29 carved into it. He was very surprised.

We are finally starting to feel settled in our new house. Sitting tight in a lot of snow! Wishing everyone a happy and blessed 2014!

 Amelia and Dad-Dad (great-grand) through her years. 

How wonderful it is she has the blessing of these relationships!
