Happy New Year...a little late

New year, new look for the blog.  The picture is from our trip over Christmas to Blue Springs State Park in Florida.  We went with the Beates family to see the amazing Manatees that frequent this area.  It was a wonderful trip, and they do have a live streaming feed if you would like to investigate it.  Heres the website:  http://www.floridastateparks.org/bluespring/  What's new for the new year?  I don't know but I'm sure it will be full of exciting new adventures.  Sometimes that scares me as it is always difficult not to know what the future holds.  Sometimes it excites me because since you don't know, it could be something really amazing!  Whatever it does hold, I do know that the Lord will be with us through whatever we may face.  We finally finished working on the house in Columbia.  Now we are just waiting for it to sell.  It was a lot of hard work and some discouraging situations along the way, but it is a relief to be done and we hope some new family will enjoy it as much as we have.  I didn't get to many pictures, but here is one with the new tile.

After we finished the house, we headed to Orlando to visit the Schreck clan for Christmas and visit with Josh and Alli. Mom had a lot of work done on her new house and it looks great.  I'm sure she will have many happy days ahead of her in the new place!

Headed home for the New Year.  Had a visit from Evan Barber and we ate pizza and played Mario.  Then it was back to school.  Isabear and I have spent several days resting and recuperating from all the holiday excursions.  She turned 12 on New Years day and the old girl just ain't what she used to be.  She hasn't been feeling well lately but we are working hard at helping her to feel better.  She has been a faithful friend and a great traveling buddy for me over these last few years so she deserves some time to just lay around and rest.  That's a very quick update of the last 2 months!
