First snow of the year!!!

Mom and I of course had to go for a walk in to first big snowfall. Wessel joined us this year, Corey was in class so he missed out. We got back from the walk and made a big bowl of Snow cream... if you have never had it... you have to try it! Just make sure it is the light fluffy snow and NOT yellow!

I guess Elkhart had a total of 5 inches so not too bad for a first snow.

The holidays are coming up so quickly! If anyone is wanting to get those family portraits in before the holidays make sure you call soon.

Walk by faith, not by sight...

Such an awesome lesson! We have had to do this as a family both our our trip and here at home.





We arrived back from NC about 6:00 this morning. It was a good trip. My brother did an amazing job at our Grandmother's service and Pop is doing as well as can be expected. Anna Ritchie and Timothy are growing by leaps and bounds. Here are a few pics from the past few days...

My Brother, Strong as a mountain...

After my grandmother passed away on Sat evening, my brother had to turn around a preach several services on Sunday morning. I just finished listening to his service online. If you would like, please go to the link and listen. He has been given such a gift. And with everything that he was given over the past week, he still is able to put it aside to help teach others about Jesus Christ. He is an amazing person and I am so very proud to call him my brother.

Update on Grandma Ritchie... The funeral will be held on Thursday in Raleigh, NC. We have a long drive ahead of us, so I better get a move on. I will post more when we return.
