We had a lovely new year’s eve… a quiet evening just the three of us. We ordered a pizza and hung out and did our usual night time routine. Samuel made Mark and I kiss over and over again at Bible time which was wonderful! It’s so cute how he pushes our faces together.

After he went to bed, we made a ton of chocolate chip and toffee cookies, which we downed with a cold glass of milk… all while cuddling on the couch as we watched Amazing Grace blown up on our wall with the projector. It was a truly wonderful movie and a fun night altogether. One of our favorite quotes from the movie– John Newton: “Although my memory’s fading, I remember two things very clearly. I’m a great sinner and Christ is a great Savior.” Amen!

Today we’re enjoying the last day of Mark’s vacation before it’s back to the grind. We hung out with some friends at Jen and Dan’s annual New Year’s Day gathering and that was really fun. I put an elk meatloaf together for dinner and now it’s time to bake some golden wheat bread. We’re rejoicing in the Lord’s goodness to us for 2007 and are excited to see what 2008 will bring. Happy New Year, everyone!
