As I find myself updating the blog this last evening of 2014 I am thinking about that popular song from the Broadway show "Rent".  It is a great song that I think of at the New Year........ How do we measure a year? If you haven't heard this song, it is worth the 3 minutes! Click this link:  Seasons of love   We had a busy month with more travel than usual.  Jeff traveled for work 3 times this month and we made a trip to PA for a long weekend to see family for the holidays. I will write some captions to help highlight the month. We ended the month with a trip to the Great Wolf Lodge for Sarah's birthday.

Five years ago, our lives changed as Sarah Katherine Weller came into our lives.  I am SO thankful we have had the privilege to know her, love her and watch her grow.   Happy New Year to all, run the race into 2015!  

Hebrews 12:1

Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us.
