Prayer Request

Would you all please pray for my good friend Jana Hendershot and her son, Nathan Paul Hendershot.  I'm not sure of the specifics, but I know that baby Nathan was born approximately 10 weeks early...  

Happy Birthday Sweetie!!!

Jason's birthday was this past Sunday.  We had a great day of celebrating - full of fun and good food! (If I say so myself...)  I'll just chronicle the day for you with pictures! :)  

The Birthday boy's table for breakfast

The presents.  

It turned out to be a lot like Christmas morning... :) 

Self portrait with all his presents.  He was - well - excited. 

The hat says "Birthday Prince".  Pretty much sums it up.  

The necklace does indeed match the sweatshirt!!!! 

Opening his cards.

Being a "Puma".  Inspiration=new sweatpants

His surprise present from me. 

Him acting like like this is the first time he'd seen it... I try to hide things and they always get found!!!!  At least he found it on his actual birthday... 

Neiman Marcus Cake with SPARKLERS!!!!  

All-in-all a great day together!  

So sad...

How sad.... Miss Natasha Richardson died after a fall while skiing.... 

Our "Falling" trip :)

This past weekend Jason and I had a wonderful time going with the chapel on a "Snow Day" to Garmisch, Germany.  It is in the German portion of the Alps, close to Austria.  Truly beautiful!!  Most people enjoyed skiing.  Some enjoyed sledding.  Jason and I went for the enjoyable art of "falling".  

The Alps - one small speck of God's beautiful creation

On the lift, on the way up the mountain

Before all the "falling" began

The bigger they are, the harder they fall... :) 

*happy Kate sigh*

God's creation always causes a man to ponder...

These were the skiers - the category of which we are not... 

Our sweet friend Mary before we went sledding down the mountain

Our Chaplain - big 'ol dork that he is.  I tried to get a picture of the side of the glasses - just trust me when I say they were - well - strange.  

A little sun-burned, but happy after a day of "falling" 

sunshine... sunshine...

My sweet husband basically made my day this morning.  He gave me a kiss and went to get ready for work.  Just a few moments later, much to my surprise, he returned and gave me a back massage!  What a wonderful way to wake up on a Monday morning! :)
