We had an awsome time seeing everybody, we stayed up too late, we ate too much food, we played games into the wee hours of the morning and we got more stuff than would fit in our van for the ride home. If you haven't heard our van was protesting the trip back to MI, we had stopped in Erie, PA for a pit stop and the van wasn't going another mile. Apperantly the transmission leak we thought we got fixed before we came home didn't fix the problem!? Anyway, we were very thankful there were 4 hotels to pick from, one right in the same parking lot. So we stayed the night and got a fresh start in the morning. We were home by 2pm. Although it's great fun to be home in NY with everybody, it's also good to get back to our own beds!
The kids were back to school last Tuesday and we go back this Wednesday. We have spent the week unpacking, restocking our refridgerator and getting our trees down. The kids always hate to see them go, but if we didn't do it before classes started they might be up until summer. I'm glad that we didn't go all out decorating this year, it makes for easy tear down!
Here are a couple pics from Christmas Eve and morning
We are so thankful to have been able to spend so much time with our families and friends over break. Our last year has been a great one of growth and learning here at school and we can't wait to get back into our classes. We are getting registered today and tomorrow, then John will start with Daniel/Revelation @ 8am, we will both be taking Philippians and I II III John @10 and 11. We are getting excited about getting back to learning and reconnecting with our friends here at New Tribes.
