Away in a Manger

Here's Michael's new song that was learned at CBS.

Michael's 1st Bible Verse

Our Children

Need a current picture of the Ramares children?
Here it is!



John left this morning to go visit family in LA. He will be in Shreveport, Pineville, Elmer, (Pineville & Elmer are in the Alexandria area) and back to Bossier City! I had not current pictures to send with him so I shot a few this morning so he can pick them up this afternoon in LA! Isn't technology great some times!

Shelby turned 8 in January! Grant turned 6 a couple of weeks ago! Jack is 3 1/2 and will have a birthday in July! Michael is 16 months! Aren't they growing fast??!?!?!

Friends ...

Two weeks ago we had new friends come for dinner. This is a newly married couple from our Sunday School class and our Community Group (small group). I had breakfast with Tanya one morning the following week! I am looking forward to getting to know her better. John has been able to visit with her husband, Paul, several times. In December we finally figured out that our pastor in Louisiana is now the pastor at their church back home in OK. Bro. Bill actually married them! What fun! More about Tanya and Paul when you get to the post on our Sunday School social.

One week ago we went to friends for breakfast on Saturday morning. John and Betsy work together. We first met at John's office picnic, then Betsy and Erik came for dinner. All through the holidays we tried to find a time to get together, but it didn't work until now! Erik and Betsy prepared a wonderful breakfast for us! The children had a super time playing in their back yard! Mr. Erik even played and sang some of his praise music for us! What a treat! Thanks to our sweet friends!

Michael is having fun! ~ Shelby found a dead squirrel, so it had to be buried etc.





That evening we had friends over to play! We were actually trading childcare, but the children love to play together so much that they don't have to know that! :) HA! Jackson, Max, Lindsey Grace, and Hannah came to play and eat pizza! We had a great time! The children were excellent! Our friends are schooled at home, and even use many of the books we use. They are the same ages of our children! What fun!
