Violet’s new friend

Last night, Violet and I went over to see some friends from our Sunday group. They have a son, Andrei, who is about the same age as Violet, so we finally decided to get together for a play date. They played really well together and I had a good time practicing my Russian.

We got some more snow today! Micah and I both love it, and Violet too. Here’s what it looked like today:

Emily

Hey friends!

Emily, one of our family members from California, is gearing up to go to college soon. With that in mind she and her parents have the daunting task of making future payments. We know how difficult it is to raise money, so we thought we could share with our readers her situation.

Emily loves to read and also write. So she wrote a short novel and would like to sell this novella in order to raise money for college. So she is looking for sponsors in order to help pay for her tuition.

Emily and her mom started a website, which if you are interested in helping her out, please click here.


Brrrrrr!

The last couple days here have been so cold! This morning it was -25 C outside, which is about -10 F. It’s not so bad if we bundle up and if there isn’t any wind. There’s nothing quite like having your nose hairs freeze as soon as you walk outside. This is what I looked like today :

everything was warm except my face 🙂

Some ice crystals have started forming on our windows. It’s so cool to see them up close and look at all their little details.

Here are some videos of Violet for her fan club:
