Christmas '09/New Years Letter '2010


Another year has just whizzed by and here we stand, by the Grace of God, ready to embark on 2010! Sails ready and excitement 'in the air' just knowing that, whatever comes, Our father has already prepared the way. "Perfect LOVE casts out fear."

We'd like to invite you to read our New Years Letter and see some recent photos.









Our Christmas and New Years Letter of 2009/10




Our Precious Family

On L: Mary and Gary Landsberg
Back: Kristal and John
Right: Ashley and Garrick (Ricky)
Grandpa and Grandma in center. (Grandma
had a raging fever that day)
Front: Trevor (L) the Jake and Christian.

Our family minus Veronica and Megan who
sadly missed the Christmas Celebration of '08.







February came and went with the usual day to
day calendar of
events but when March flew in
and the St. Pat
ricks party came around, Liz's
Irish heri
tage 'took over' and.... John even sat at
the same ta
ble with her. (Smile).

Due to very good health insurance we've been
able
to have dental work done and eyewear
updated. Pr
aising God for this blessing.






April and
May brought beautiful weather to
our desert home and a special occasion for
the family. Veronica graduated from High Sch.
and John flew his family over to Missouri for
the event. They enjoyed several days with the
girls in Branson before coming back home.











Our family get togethers have been precious with
John, Kristal an
d the boys. On the left.. Trevor is
standing betwe
en Grandpa and Grandma V. with Jake on Grandma's right. Larry and Preta, Kristal's parents are on the left.










This was Jake's 5th Birthday Party on Aug. 18th. we had all gathered at their home in the country South of Spokane.











There ha
ve been occasional 'hiccoughs' in 2009
but none like in August when Johnny's Company
agreed
to move them to Spokane. His work on forklifts here in the Tri-Cities had begun to dry up and he had been traveling back and forth to Spokane frequently where there was plenty of work. So with lumps in our throats we did all we could to help make the move as easy on them as possible.
They rented a place in the country where deer
visit their back yard and they even saw a moose while driving to Trevor's school one day. God is still Good and His Grace and Love envelope us daily. God Bless with our love, John and Liz.
My Computer was uncooperative and so I failed to mention this trip in my Christmas letter.
Be sure to look at the older blog which shows my dream come true on my 79th birthday/Sept. 10th 2009.. A trip with Barry, my brother and Dot. It was unbelievable. ENJOY
