Remodel in Salem

It's been a team effort at the little house in Salem! Pa, Geoffrey and Ben have given a fresh new look to the kitchen at the little home that has taken good care of the younguns. Soon Neli will be up washing dishes in a new sink and counter top. There is even a place for a new mosaic design to be installed.

Happy Birthday Cam!

May the world treat you to a day of cheer and beauty! You bring so much happiness to our lives. We love you.

Happy Birthday Grammy!

Thank you for all the wonderful times we share together Grammy - you make little things so much fun! Have fun using the new techie toys (with a little help from Caleb ) and stay young at heart, like you already do!

Guess what - there is a new airline in Wenatchee that flies to Portland and Coos Bay!! Maybe we can get you up to The Pines this year! Here's a link

Happy New Year!

Best Wishes for happiness in 2012!
We are going up to The Pines today to tear down the old ceiling and put in the new windows - in honor of new beginnings. A wall between the kitchen and the front room was demolished yesterday.
I have many more wonderful photos of our Christmas holiday, and will post some on the photo album very soon! Thanks for being so good.

PS - I put a facebook badge here and I would love for any of you who aren't on facebook already to check it out. It's a fun way to share. Just click on my badge and you can follow the steps to sign up.

11 years of pure bliss!!

Cam and I had a beautiful anniversary here in Seattle, with sunshine, rain, hail, a rainbow, a beautiful sunset at a new beach, and then snow!! How magical is that?! I am so grateful that I get to spend this beautiful day with my best friend!

Christmas Auction Blessings

The Dalgas Christmas Auction was another great success this year. After all the funds were counted, the total amount donated was 500 dollars. The proceeds will be donated to the Mixteco Christian Fellowship Summer School fund and the Entiat Valley Community Services fund.

Follow the links above for more information about each of the foundations.

Additionally, I just discovered a short documentary video featuring Mixteco Christian Fellowship, Colonia Mixteca, and the yearly summer school was recently posted on Vimeo. The video was being filmed while Amy and I were teaching there in 2008. There have been so many lives touched through the work and ministry of the fellowship in Colonia Mixteca and hopefully the video is a blessing to you all as well.

Auction Closes at 12pm Today!

I will be finalizing the bidding today at 12 pm right before we set out on our journey to the Christmas cabin!
