Hi Everyone! Well, it looks like I am averaging about 1 update a month. Sorry about that, but you can count on at least 2 updates this month. So here is the latest...

Friday night and all day Saturday we had a Music Conference at our Church with Bro. Byron Foxx (Bible Truth Ministries) and Bro. Dennis Stremming. We ended it with a choir concert Saturday evening. Sunday we started right in with our Revival Meetings with Bro. Foxx. Last night was to be our last night but we are having such a good time in the Lord that Pastor has extended it to tonight and possibly tomorrow night. What a blessing!!

Saturday Morning we are heading up to Spruce Lake to spend Saturday and Sunday with the Leatherman clan. (those that can make it) We've been doing this for as long as I can remember. Every year we rent a cabin and whoever can make it comes. Some go up on Friday night already, but we are heading up Saturday morning so we are there in time for breakfast. Hopefully it will be nice that we are able to be outside either hiking or doing whatever. They have a lake that the kids always enjoy throwing rocks into. John will actually be "preaching" on Sunday, so please pray for him as he isn't sure what the Lord wants him to say, and to family. But we are looking forward to that time of relaxing after a long BUT GOOD week of Meetings.

Thanks for stopping by and checking in with our family. I'm hope to be blogging again after the weekend, sometime.

TIME TO GET CAUGHT UP AGAIN...

Here I am again. Lack in blogging once again...
Here are some pictures from our last snow we had. Enough that the boys were able to go sledding with daddy. I'm not sure who had more fun Daddy or the boys.


Somehow I think John intentionally tried to take out Joel.
(Just something about that facial expression.)














Elijah heading back up the hill for another round.

(But where's the sled?)














Joel on his way down.















This past weekend the flu bug or whatever type of bug is going around has made its way through myself & Joel. I started with sore throat & headache on Friday am and was down a majority of the weekend. By Monday, Praise the Lord, I was felt better than I sounded. I think I am starting to sound better also. Joel started Friday night with it but seemed ok over the weekend. Monday & Tuesday he spent his days on the couch. John had a bit of sore throat and was tired and Elijah gets coughing spells once in a while but thankfully it seems to have passed both of them. Sunday all four of us stayed home to continue getting better and to keep from passing it around the Church family. Although, they could have passed it to us, since it seems like it has already gone through the Church once this year.

Here is a pictures of Joel... his pictures can describe our weekend.















This picture was to cute to pass up. He wanted to get up off the couch on Tuesday, so he got up and on the end to drink his juice. After a while he was sitting on the floor and when we checked on him a few minutes later he had fallen asleep again.















John has switched back to day shift at his work!!
When he started working at DSC Logistics in September they hired him they only hire on as 2nd or 3rd. So he had been working 2nd shift since he started. It was kind of nice having him home during the day for several reasons. I was able to work at Curves in the mornings and he was teaching Elijah, but we missed him being home in the evenings. But its one of those things, that was the door The Lord opened, so we took it. and made due with the time we had. But when they had posted an opening on 1st shift he put in his name and we hoped & prayed that it would work out. Well, he FINALLY switched to days this week. This will be his first Wednesday night in Church since September. He is greatly looking forward to that and the fact that when it starts staying lighter later he will get more time with the family. That also means I go back to teaching Elijah. Just keep that on your prayer list for a VERY LONG time. He is doing well with it but he has his days where he doesn't want to. Then we both end of getting frustrated. I didn't go to Crown for teaching I went for my Secretarial degree. OK, and my MRS.
degree. :-)
Last tid-bit of info on the family... we are starting to look into moving up closer to our Church in May. Being involved as we are would be better if we were closer. Please help us pray that the right place will open up. Well, hope you enjoyed reading up on the Morgan family. We love to hear you stopped by and hope you will stop in more often. oh wait, I guess that means I would need to blog more. Well I will definitely keep you posted on how things are looking for the move.

Just wanted to let you all know that John did make it safely home without any troubles. Our snow turned to all rain today. At least the boys were able to go sledding yesterday.

Long Time Coming

I know its been a while. Sorry about that. Gotta say there isn't a whole lot going on here. To look outside it looks like we might finally be having some winter weather. The boys were out sledding for a little while today till they were to cold. There wasn't a lot on the ground and it looked like it was actually freezing rain when they decided to come in. Now it looks like snow again. How pretty it looks especially being inside looking out. I am hoping that John will be able to get home from work tonight. He has 4 wheel drive, but as he so wonderfully reminded me, it doesn't do him much good when the roads are icy. And if the 3rd shift people aren't able to get in he may have to stay. We hope that everyone is doing well.

I am still enjoying taking my piano lessons. 30 minutes goes very quick when I feel like I have so much to learn. But then it's probably a good I only have 30 minute lessons. I sometimes walk away feeling like I haven't completely comprehended what she just told me. Good thing she writes down what I'm supposed to do.

Well, I have to go and start putting dinner together. If anyone ever has some really good recipes that they like and don't mind sharing them, send them my way. We enjoy trying new things. The nice thing with living with mom and dad is that they enjoy trying new things also and they usually like it even if John and I don't care for it.

It's never to late to continue learning.

Well, I started taking piano lessons today. I had taken in elementary through 11th grade then had given up because I hated to practice. So now I have picked it back up again and am trying to better the talent that The Lord has given me. So thats the excitement that is going on here for today. Hope everyone is doing well.

Snow!!

Well, sorry for the delay in blogging. There hasn't been a lot going on since Joel's birthday. We had some snow yesterday that the boys were able to go out and sled. They had fun being outside in the snow and it looked so beautiful. I wish that I would have taken some pictures of the trees with the snow on them. But then it turned to rain so almost all the snow is gone today already. At least the boys were able to be out in it yesterday.

I think that Joel was pulling Elijah down the hill and was about wiped out.















Some video clips of them having a good time sledding...





They finally were cold enough that they wanted to come in to warm up by the fire.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOEL!!

Hard to believe my baby was 3 yesterday. Now hopefully he will get the potty training down and SOON be out of pull-ups!! We had his party on Saturday. Friends from church came down for pizza, chips, & cake. Joel enjoyed his gifts & most of all getting $$ from his mom-mom & pop-pop. (See picture below) We hope that everyone had a very nice New Years! Our Church has many comings events in 2008. Already planned is our Youth camp in June, our 5th Annual Sword Conference in October. May the Lord richly bless you & your families through this year.
