Housewarming

We had some friends over for a housewarming on Oct 26, 2009. Our Pastor came and had a very special dedication ceremony and blessing of the house. We want our home to be use by God to raise Godly seed, win the lost, care for the broken, and to be a place of refuge from the world.
Unless the Lord builds the house

they labor in vain that build it.

Psalm 127:1 Our Pastor in the living room.

Apple Picking

We went apple picking with Marissa and her sister Joanna at a local orchard. It was a bit chilly but we had a good time. It was the last day of the season to pick apples, and we

made it just in time. They close at 6 and we got there at 5:55.

Afterwards we went to their farm store and got an apple cider doughnut and some of their delicious mulled cider. Janelle had fun holding the apples and also learning the sign for apple. We watched the sun set on the first day of day light savings time at around 6:15, and I took a picture of the full moon. Looking forward to going back in the spring for blueberries and strawberries. It was a beautiful day.

Auntie Marissa Comes For Lunch

Marissa came over for lunch today. We call her Auntie because her and her husband Dave are Janelle's Godparents. It is such a blessing to have such good, Godly friends. We had a great time of fellowship and food. Marissa made these awesome sandwiches, brought some chips and these cute little apricot drinks and I provided some fruit. These sandwiches were so good I decided to post the recipe so you can try them on your own. The make up is as follows:
Pumpernickel bread
Herbed Mayo
Cucumber sliced very thin
Thinly sliced turkey breast
Water Crest
That's it. Put it all together and you have one of the best sandwiches you will ever eat. After lunch we compared my baby pictures with Janelle. She looks like me in some but not all of the pictures. Rhondale is still winning in the "who does Janelle look like" contest. But that's fine with me. I happen to think Rhondale is rather cute. After that we went for a walk in the park. It was very nice out today. Sunny and 60. Janelle had a good time as Marissa and I took turns carry her. She is definitely getting heavy. We came back to the house and Auntie said good-bye. We'll see her tomorrow at church for Good Friday service. But what a great day.
