Once again our Christmas card is green…

No matter whether we are saving trees or money…let me tell you I do love holding your cards in my hands…so thank you for sending your lovely letters our way!  

Here’s a quick digital download of 2012…

My little bro graduated from UNC                Kylee danced!
and 
made 
his 
way 
to 
UVA
to
begin 
med 
school
                                               

In May we welcomed a new member to our family…                                  

and landed in Uganda…
                                                       

                                 

Watoto left an impression the size of Africa on our hearts!  

The kids dressed up…
One Nature Fairy, Will Turner, and a last minute change turned our “Pumpkin Pirate” in to a “tough” Brown Ninja…

This year provided laughter…

required some real effort…                

                               and expanded our world view!                   

2012 took us on some incredible adventures and allowed us to see the world with new eyes.   It filled us with a strong desire to invest more and more in things that really matter.

So whether we run, laugh, dress up, travel, or lift and load thousands of boxes, we hope to see this world not as our oyster but as a beautiful place filled with beautiful people.  People we hope to know.  People we hope to befriend.  We hope to inspire others to invest in relationships too.  So whether they love people close or far away…their lives and relationships would effect change.   

We don’t begin to pretend to know all that this means and we are pretty sure it is going to be messy.  It is only His grace that makes us worthy.   But by His grace we hope 2013 will be filled with more of Him and less of us.
