Philippians 4:4-9
Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. and the peace of God which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things. The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.

Happy 2013

 What a gloriously beautiful morning to welcome in 2013!  David sadly is nursing his Achilles tendon again, so it was off on a hike again instead of a morning run for him and Caleb.  The kids enjoyed 'popping' all the ice holes!
 We were the first ones up this morning so we got some tracking prints.---Deer!
 We were thinking rabbit?
 David was thinking these were quail.
 Caleb really liked this tree, thought it looked like something from Africa.  He climbed up the hill just so I could get a picture of him with it.
 David and Hannah with Mt. McLaughlin behind them.
 What a beautiful daughter I have!  And a good sport---two 5 mile hikes in a week for a 9 year old!
 It really was a glorious morning!  David decided to leave the nice path you see here and.....
 ....side hill it!  Doesn't look too bad, but looks can be deceiving.  It was very soggy mud with ice and water running down in all that moss.  As you can see it did not stop him too much!  There is our cell tower we are headed to---half way there!
 Me and Hannah enjoyed going at our own pace, slip sliding away!  Almost can see the mountain in the background.
 David and Caleb waiting for us!
 Love the look of the mountain floating in the clouds as they kept creeping in.
 There is our car!  Kind of looks like a Matchbox car!
 David contemplating 2013 before he led us in prayer for our new year and all the Lord may have in store for us! 

Life with God is a wild ride, especially when you seek to really hear His voice and let the voices of the world fade away.

That is my prayer for 2013---Less of me and MORE OF HIM!


 Good morning Medford 2013!
Can't believe we are so blessed to parent these two treasures!  Hannah will officially enter the double digits this year and Caleb will become a teenager!  Lord continue to give us wisdom to be the best parents we can be to these treasures!

Beautiful Pics! Looks like fun! Sure wish we lived close, we would be your Hiking Buddies. And, my boys would be Running Buddies with Caleb. :)

Hugs to you, and prayers for His Blessings in the New Year.
