If you didn’t get this in an e-mail format it probably means that we don’t have your e-mail address.

This year we are in enough of a budget-crunch that we can’t print our “usual” 200-ish Christmas cards and mail them all over the world to our friends and family thanks to our “Money Make Over” we’re undergoing.

If you want to print your own version of this photo and place it front-and-center on your kitchen fridge, here’s a link to a hi-res (300dpi) version of this 4×6-inch photo for you to print at your local Wal-Mart or Wallgreens! (just right-click the link and choose “Save Target As…”, save it to your computer, and upload it wherever you print digital photos!)

Please forgive our cheap-ness.

Apparently we’ve received 13+ inches of snow this month already here in lovely Mukwonago, WI. With our busy schedules and me being sick this last week we hadn’t had a chance until this afternoon to go and play in it! Sure I’ve shoveled and fallen enough times to make an old man out of me, but we haven’t really “enjoyed” the beautiful snow until today!

I’m so glad Jess suggested that I come home early to enjoy some family-time tonight! If I wouldn’t have agreed I would’ve missed these priceless moments:

Of course you can visit my Flickr page and see the entire photoset of today’s fun-in-the-snow!

This weekend we enjoyed a special visit from our friends, John & Danielle Freed!

John was the youth pastor here at Our Savior’s up until about a year-and-a-half ago and is now ministering at Fall Creek Wesleyan in Fishers, Indiana.

It is always great to reconnect with friends that we don’t get many opportunities to visit with! Jess and I had them over this morning for some home-grown breakfast and time to just visit together. It was a great morning even though I didn’t have much of a voice!
