32 and counting...

Hello Family! I just wanted to thank everyone for all of the birthday wishes a few weeks ago. It is always so nice to hear from you all. Things in Atlanta are going well. We had a beautiful sunny weekend in the 70s, the first of the season and a far cry from the snow we had last week. I am getting ready to move into a new apartment in April. I feel like I have plenty of time to get packed and ready, but I also know that I am one of the worlds best procrastinators and that moving day will be here before I know it! I hope all is going well with each of you and while I am terrible at posting on here, I really do enjoy reading all of the updates. Love to all.

Hi Everyone.

We seem to be a flying family this week. Crystal left for Texas yesterday. I think Mike and Faye left for California today and Duane leaves for Florida Sunday! Is anyone else on the way to somewhere? Duane has 6 days of meetings in Orlando. I don't think he will even have much time to get any sun. In April, Becky, Elle, Crystal, Kayla, Sandy Hoffman, and I are flying to Disney World to help Elle celebrate being 4. This is a girls trip and she told Sam he can't go because he is a boy! I wonder what she will think when Caleb takes Sam on a fishing or hunting trip and she can't go because she is a girl. I hope everyone has a safe and fun time or their trips. Love, Eileen

Happy 25th - Thanks!

We would like to say thanks for the Precious Moments and cards we received for our 25th Anniversary. Thanks for thinking of us and all the well wishes. We still can't believe it's been 25 years already. We must be having a lot of fun.

The picture on the right is from a little surprise party Faye's family had for us at Ed and Vi's.
Dot Sauder and Larry & Judy (Sauder) Hodel were also there to help celebrate.

We are planning to take an anniversary trip to California the end of February and the first week of March. That should be nice to get away for awhile.

Thanks again.

Much Love,
Mike & Faye

Sunday Morning

Dear Family,
I have a few minutes before going to church so I thought I would say hello.
Eldon and Brett came yesterday and put up the blinds in my kitchen. They
are from Mary and Keith and look great. I'm looking for new curtains but
they are hard to find. Colors don't match.
We have church potluck this evening at the fellowship hall and then our monthly
hymn sing. My time is up so you all have a great day. Love, MOm

Princess Snow-woman

Here are some pictures of Elle's princess snow-woman. She was very proud of it and wanted everyone to see it!

Family is a treasure!

We just want to thank everyone for coming to Tim's while we were in Illinois. It is always such a hectic time when we travel at the holidays, (bouncing between two families) and yet you always find time to be with us! Thank you, Tim and Cathy for hosting dinner! Thanks to everyone for all the delicious food, for bringing the little ones out and for letting us feel the love of our extended family once again! We enjoyed the fellowship......and fell in love with the song leader!
Memories to treasure.....

With lots of love,
Connie and Keith

What a party!

Grandpa: "Reagan, what makes you happy?"

Reagan: "My birthday!"

(Reagan thought the Hohulin Family Christmas was her birthday party.)

Grandpa: "Reagan, what else makes you happy?"

Reagan: "Jesus!"

(The real reason for the party!)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

This cartoon is in a book Dad had: "The Potluck Hall of Fame & Other bizarre Christian Lists" I have taken it to heart and do not make pastoral visits early on New Years Day! Thanks for the good advice Dad!
