2010 Happenings

Roses for HannahOn the last day of 2009 we celebrated Hannah’s birthday. It feels as though this year is taking off already, and I did not want to miss announcing this special event (even though it took place last year =). Hannah's BirthdayI have really been impressed with many things about Hannah recently. She has quite the gift of being creative in the many things that she makes and designs. the decorationsHer creativity in card making has been amazing and has inspired me in areas of art as well. Hannah not only makes great cards but she also expresses gratefulness and genuine love through the cards that she makes.warm fire I am always encouraged when I receive a note from her! What a blessing Hannah has been to our family and we pray that God’s blessings upon her would be abundant.joy of skating

As for the rest of us, we have been working on and off throughout the holidays, relaxing, iceskating, sledding, and simply enjoying the subzero weather. =) (I have actually been thinking about Florida a lot recently =). God has been good and we all are looking forward to what will take place in 2010.  nate's Hockey stopiceskatingjoey on iceIMG_7102a great afternoon on the ice

    Hello Paines!
    Thanks so much for sending us your family update and photo. my family and I really enjoyed it. Sounds like you all have plenty of winter…we had -15 F yesterday…slightly cold, but it’s warmed up to a nice 20 F now. God’s blessings on the New Year!
