Santa and 87 degrees




Now I know we're not from way cold country, but as we were waiting for Santa's arrival at the mall last weekend it was SOOOOO hot! We met with friends from our church family, ate dinner and all went outside to dance until Santa arrived on top of the Cheesecake Factory! The mall tree was lit and the fans blowing that fake snow felt so good. Megan seemed a bit overwhelmed by the crowd, but they both truly loved that snow.

After welcoming Santa we then went with friends to watch the nighttime shuttle launch. You might notice the blur of orange in the sky! How cool to watch from Central Florida as the shuttle made it's way into space. This was Megan's first look at a launch--she loved the fire in the sky. Amazing. Jim's decided he's glad he's not on this mission as they test turning urine to drinkable water at the space station!

3.Urine into drinking water???? That is WRONG on so many levels!!

Glad to see that you all are doing well! We miss you!
