Beauty All Around

Dad sent these to everyone on December 23, 2010. So I'm sure you've all seen them. Just thought I'd add them to the blog too!

Yesterday we had a day of intense fog. It was hard to see to drive.

Then, last night, we had very cold temperatures.

The two combined to make a lacy fairyland.

Hope you enjoy the pictures.

Dad

Eggs

I have something to post! Hooray! So Tigress has a boyfriend, Jerry. Actually, the girls married them, so they're legitimate. We are dragon sitting for several months because his owners just moved to Boise and are renting a place that doesn't allow pets. He and Tigress get along very well. In fact, Tigress has become much less aggressive since being introduced to Jerry. She even lets us hold her now. Anyway, she has been getting fat and lumpy, and finally this morning she started laying eggs! She laid pretty much all day long, and we now have 19 eggs in the incubator! Tigress is very tired and deflated now. It was very fun to show the kids when they got home -- especially Jonah. Mom asked me to take a picture of his face, so here you go!

Prayers

I found this video on my flash drive the other day and I think it's worth another look. It still makes me laugh--especially near the end when the girls just bust out singing at the top of their lungs.

I would also like to petition some prayers on our behalf. As most of you know, Matt has been writing a novel and has finally finished it. Over Christmas break he has spent a lot of time researching literary agents and writing letters of inquiry. He got a response from one agent just two days after sending an inquiry and that agent requested the first 3 chapters of his book, which we were very excited about! That means some interest has been generated, though how much we won't know for a while. Anyway, this is going to be a long process, but we would appreciate any prayers offered on behalf of the publication of this book. This has been Matt's dream since he was about 11 years old and it would mean the world to him to see his name in print. Thank you all
