The Petersens

We have been spending a lot of time with Darren and Jennifer. It all started on December 23rd, when we finally got our families together after going to GOZ for 18 months. We had such a great time that we invited them over for Christmas Eve the next day and decorated gingerbread cookies with all the kids, and stayed up late talking and letting the kids watch movies. They have 5 kids aged 10 and down, and Jenn is about to give birth to number 6. She homeschools and maintains household order, and Darren works on the computers at UNT, and plays sax in our church worship band. All our kids like each other, and get along great, so it's easy to hang out. We are blown away to find a couple who we feel like we've known forever. This weekend their kids are with grandma, so we're getting a babysitter and going out for their anniversary. We're all looking forward to it.

They look like such a neat couple. So happy you found them.
I read Abbie and Mad's blogs and they are wonderful. Madeline needs to do another one. How is the violin playing going? Abel is doing well at it, too.
We had a super duper time in Europe, especially Malta. Aunt Luanne and Uncle Ed will be here on the 2nd for a couple of weeks.
Blessings
