Last Saturday Ruth received a phone call from Ethan's school teacher. She was wanting to know if we were going to be home that afternoon. We happen to be out shopping. But we went home, for Mrs. Brown's daughter is also a school teacher I am guessing at a christian school in this area. Her class had took in monies and gifts to help a family at Christmas time. That family happened to be Ruth and the boys. Mrs. Brown told us she had nothing to do with it. That it was her daughters class. So the daughter was wanting to share by showing the class which is a kindergarten class, what they were doing. So when monies came into the class she would tape it to a really nice poster board which she had decorated with a scripture verse on it. There was well over $200.00 tape to that poster. All kinds of coins, 20's, 10's and 5's and also bunches of 1's in bills. The boys received gifts as many as 9 each plus several that were tagged for all three together. We were so over whelmed. They said that it was a gift from Jesus. We so Praise the Lord! I just wanted to share this with you, because as you look at the tree pictured it was so over whelming. We want to "Thank" Jesus' Angles who brought them. Also we want to say a "BIG" Thank you to family and friends that sent boxes to Ruth and the boys. It was so appreciated. May God Bless Each Of You!

Got A Box!
We recieved a box from Grandma and Grandpa Weatherwax.
Some surprises jumped out at us as well.
Thank You Grandma and Grandpa Weatherwax!

Friendship Christmas Party!

Last summer while my stay here in Hobe Sound Area

I was invited to the Friendship Sunday School Class.

I like it so well I was so looking forward to attending the class

when I returned down here. So Sunday morning I attended the class.

I was not disappointed. Bro. Finney is the teacher of the class.

He is so great!

The class Christmas Dinner was announced Sunday morning,

for Tuesday evening at 6:30

and I wanted to be sure to attend and so I did. Again I was not

disappointed. I had a wonderful time.

The decorating was nice, the dinnerware I couldn't believe it!

It was the throw away kind, including the silverware. It looked

so much like the real thing, both did.

Here is the decorations above and below.

I thought that this was a nice touch. So cozy and warm looking.

To think that we would need to be warm here in Florida.

There was a nice group out. Here are a couple of views


This is Bro. Finney he had just received his gift from the class.
Sorry for the dark pictures.

Sis. Fern top left, leading the program.

I pray you have a very

Merry

Christmas!

Zeek Woke Me

This morning (Saturday) someone opened my bedroom door.

I didn't see who it was, but I just laid there and all of a sudden

Zeek came and tickled me. Zeek is a little stuffed mouse,

Evan got from his school teacher along with the book that is called Zeek.

Easton brought it in and tickled me with it.

He then went downstairs with Mommy and Ethan and Evan came

in and they asked if they could do this puzzle.

Here is their finished project.

Then we got around and to do some shopping,

Then we grab something to eat and took it to the park.

When we were finished the boys decided to be monkeys.

Here they are in the tree.

I guess Evan got something in his eye. That is

why he has his hand over it. When everything was done we needed to get done

then that evening Ruth had a Christmas party to go too.

So we dropped her off and I took the boys around and looked at

Christmas lights.

We then went to Hobe Sound Bible Church Community

Candle Lighting.

We parked the car and walked around the community.

A few of the families had cookie and some kind of drink.

It was so pretty to see the lights along with the bags

with the candles lit.

Notice the cross made out of bags on the left.
This is one of the places that served cookies, and other along with drink.

As you can see they had a fire going. I thought that was so neat.

As we were walking around we come across

this light house in one of the yards.

Can you believe it here is a palm tree decorated with ornaments.

It really looked very pretty in the dark.

At the end of one of the canals,

they had their deck decorated.

We could see this place decorated from the bridge on Bridge Rd.

This is believe or not at an end of a trailer on campus

the lights are up over a tree and the end of the trailer. This is one of the views we seen while walking.
Another view

We were driving around looking at lights after

we picked Ruth up.

I am not sure what was read on the sign,

But I had to get this blown up Spartan.

For my husband is a Spartan Fan.

Just for you Hon,

see I am thinking of you while down here.

I hope you enjoyed the pictures.

I hope and pray that you all are remembering

The Reason For The Season!

Field Trip with Evan

Thursday, the day after I arrived in Florida I went to Evan's

school field trip.

It was to the Missionary Flight's International

They left the school in the church bus,

it is like a Greyhound.

They really thought it was cool.

They even had a DVD player.

They played the video The Candy cane Legion.

that is one of my favorite stories.

The picture below is Evan on the bus.

He doesn't look like he is enjoying it does it? Does it?

Looking from Evan's seat,

his teacher standing

Mrs. Deckard.

Great teacher. Thank you Mrs. Deckard for all your

hard work with the children. Behind Mrs. Deckard,

is Mr. Martin, our tour guide.

Here they are getting ready to go inside the building.

We met up with Mr. Martin who works with the Flight

International

He was our tour guide.

On the way to the door there was a little creek that we passed and

Mr. Martin showed us a baby alligator in that creek.

It doesn't look like a baby, but it was, it was hard to see.

But once I did found it, here it is. To show you. Here the class is inside and in the lounge waiting to view a

video.

They shared with us a little about the services that

Flight International gives.

Here is the Post Office for the Missionaries
The boxes you see here are waiting to be taken to children.

They are Christmas gifts if I remember right they said that there were

two flights that had already left for that day.

So it was three times this many

boxes. That morning.

This plane is being worked on,

the wing on the other side is completely off.

Looking at this picture, you see the wing is off.

We were told the reason that they had to take the wing off

was because of salt water carotid on the wing,

so they had to replace that part.

While they had the wing off they checked out everything else

to see that everything is okay.

Here is Evan trying out a watering hose on the main firetruck

on that airport.

Evan is just a little short don't you think?
Here Evan gets to see what happens inside the truck.
I don't think is enjoying it do you?
He got to try on the gear that the firemen wear.

He would make a cute fireman wouldn't he?

Showing the children water coming out one of the hoses.

Here is the whole crew.
The fireman sorry to say I do not remember his name.
He was very good with the children we want to Thank Him
for sharing with us about the emergency part of this part of
this program.

This is inside the main hanger of the airport.

We couldn't believe how clean it was.

This is where they ate lunch.

As you see below.

Of course I had to get a picture of this.

Those of you in the north can you believe it,

they had grilled hot dogs,

with chips, cookies, and cupcakes

along with a Capri juice.

In the semi circle are the parents and grandparents that

went with the group. Among them are the Home room Mother's

that put this together.

We want to thank you for your hard work.

Thank you,

Well, this is the end of our show for you.

They actually ended up back at school.

Then were dismissed for the rest of the day!

Thank you for all those that had part putting this trip

together.

And thank you Flight International for having us.

Thank you Mr. Martin for the information that we learned on this trip.
