After several weeks of conference filled, family filled, and work filled traveling we have enjoyed settling back in to home life. The carved pumpkin and fall décor have resigned and our fresh-cut Christmas tree stands proud in our livingroom. It is perfectly cold outside and wonderfully warm inside. We are glad to lay low through Christmas and enjoy our surroundings as we experience this season for the first time with Oliver. His innocence has made us mindful of what we are imparting to him. Balancing the joy of giving and receiving with worshiping the one who came to us in the form of a baby.
He is a rowdy 10 months old, eager to crawl anywhere his chubby little legs will take him. He daily fills us with joy.

Here are a few family pics that Donna took of us in Texas. Check out our albums page for a lot more from this trip.
