She has gone home

The new year of 2009 has barely began - and already both joy and sorrow have been a part of it... I guess, that's what life is all about...

One of the most amazing (is not "the most") women of God I have ever known and met has moved on from this world to the next one, to meet her Lord and Savior. She battled with ALS for 18 months, shared her heart with the world in her blog, and finally moved on, leaving behind many thankful and grieving hearts. Her blog is well worth reading, if you haven't done so yet!

Iguana Christmas

There is just too much going on in my head - so rather than trying to put it all here, I say nothing. :) Or maybe just a little...

Our green iguana had a nice Christmas, as you can see from the pic. So did the rest of our animals - and us humans. As I have already mentioned, Roope and I worked all Christmas. But that was really nice and we did have a good time with the kids.

New Year 2009 is on its way, not too far anymore. We are waiting for some friends to come over and will enjoy some good time with them as the year changes. Until the next year. Be blessed, you all, whosoever, are reading!

Enkelit lentää liihottaa

Tänä jouluna pihistellään lahjojen kanssa, näin on sovittu. Omatekoisian ei kuitenkaan lasketa. Siispä... Kuvassa on yksi viidestä meillä syntyneistä enkeleistä, jotka tässä joulun aikana lähtevät uusiin koteihin.

Kuvassa oleva on se, joka on tehty isälleni ja vaimolleen Iirikselle. Koskapa he viettävät jouluaan Teneriffan lämmössä (juu, lähes kuolen kateuteen), muuttaa tämä yksilö tosin vasta myöhemmin... :) Mutta hyvää joulua vaan heillekin!
