Eve of Redemption

Here's a little taste of Marklar's band.

New house

I finally found some pics from the new house. The first one is our living room. There was no oil in the furnace so the fire place has come in handy in this unseasonable cold season. Mom that's your little oval pic there. the top shelf now has all the wedding photos from my sisters and kids, grandma, mom and dad. The next pic is Marky snowboarding in the back yard. That is our back porch that now has a tent on it. The snowy picture of the front of the house and my car in the snow on final moving day.

Two bedrooms or three??

Okay so the new house has only two bedrooms, but Marky and marklar have managed to put a tent on the back porch which goes the whole length of the house and part of the side. The tents in the corner. this is his good friend Dylan and marklar playing video games in our new "room"

The blessings of a good man

So here's Mark at one of the job sites. He has been working hard and been such a blessing to me. It was a little hard imagining our new house as a home, but Mark has worked very hard to make it our own. He has painted the kitchen and our bedroom. (mark kept the gold paint in his) He redid the ceiling to floor bookcase so it is very beautiful. He painted the front porch and put up a railing so I have something to hold on to in the stone steps. He is a blessing from God. He's also been so supportive of me in starting my business. He'd like to have a men's party if any of you are interested!

Holiday blessings

Okay so this is the float where our church gives away 1000 stuffed animals in the Christmas parade. It's amazing what a little stuffed animal can do to the hearts of little and not so little ones.

Christmas 2008

So if you're saying to yourself. Why is Mary posting Christmas pictures. Is it because she thinks it still feels as cold as christmas, no. Is it because she is slow, (well yes and no) It is because Mark's camera is broken and we couldn't empty them, but through help from CVS we got got these downloaded. This is the gang opening gifts on Christmas.

So Ohio is moving to North Carolina! Isaac has been commissioned to be an elder at King of Glory church and the recent carolinians Eric, katie, and three boys and The McNabb crew who were here visiting came to the service to lend their support. We have unsuccessful tried to get together with the McNaughtons, but I'm sure despite sleet and snow, and sickness we will prevail. It's so good to see familiar faces.
