Well I'm back, finally!  After solving the problems I had with my computer, I'm happy to report that every thing is back to normal!  With my new filter, I wasn't able to view pictures from my blog and was not able to see other blogs, but now after requesting to get a couple sites unblocked (Photobucket and Flickr) from the tech support, I was able to get them unblocked, thankfully.  I've really missed you guys!  I have lots to catch up on, don't I?  Anyway, this has been a good week.  Last Sunday, the kids played in a Christmas program that our church put on, called "Dear Theophilus" except for Evan, my 2 year old, who fell asleep and slept through the whole program!  He was supposed to be one of the little angels.  Kayla played as Elizabeth, Clay acted as Joseph, and Ethan was one of the shephards.  There were 45 kids in the play.

Evan all tuckered out.

Wednesday, my kids went ice skating at our frozen pond.  They all had lots of fun except for my 2 year old.  He didn't think falling down was all that fun!  Lol  So he pretty much just sat on the edge of the pond and watched.  It was pretty cold too and they all were bundled up pretty warmly.  It was such a good day as there was no wind at all.  Here are some pictures.

He had so much fun sliding as far as he could go!

I love this one.  Isn't he cute!?
