Merry Christmas


Merry Christmas from the Chili Dogs!

We ARE still alive if any of you are wondering. Life has been busy since our little man was born, but we are having a great time in the midst of the busyness. The Lord has been so faithful to sustain us through MANY sleepless nights as we have all been sick and He has given us grace upon grace to love our children well and continue to instruct them in the Lord.

As we celebrate Christmas this year, we, as a family have been focusing on Jesus being the Light of the world. We made lots of ornaments that represent different items that reflect/shine light. Flashlights, stars, candles, sun, moon, and more. It has been fun to make ornaments and talk a lot about Jesus. Hearing our children say that "Jesus is the Light of the world" is really neat and makes my heart rejoice even more in Him. Though they don't really understand what that means, we are excited that they are learning truths about God and pray that those truths would take deep root in their hearts and minds so that they may have this amazing joy that we have in knowing Christ.

Here are a few tidbits of things that have been/are happening in our household the past three months. Happy Three Months Baby Dietrich!
  • Dietrich is three months and can roll over from his tummy to his back. He is such a cutie.
  • Ezekiel turned four right before Thanksgiving!!! (I accidentally deleted over 1,000 pics from my camera the other day and his Pirate Party was on there)
  • Damaris is potty trained!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • Tim and Holly will celebrate 5 wonderful years on Jan. 1
