Christmas 06

Ok so a quick run down of our Christmas Holidays. Von left for India on the 11th. We left on the 14th of December and flew to Houston to visit Poppy. Then we had the "Livingston" Christmas at my Aunt Paula's House. We then drove to Corpus and spent the next week with Bampy and Grammy, and my Brother Keane and his family. It was a very nice time of doing a whole lot of nothing and eating a whole lot of everything!!! On the 28th Sage and I drove to San Antonio (courtesy of Bampy's Jeep) and picked up Von who arrived safely from India!!!! We then spent the next week visiting with his alternating sets of parents and his sweet Granny! Last night we arrived back in Portland and finally spent the night in our own beds after 3 long weeks of being away. We had a great Christmas with ton's of great presents which we brought back thanks to 2 extra suitcases, a very large cardboard box and a brand new cooler filled with deer meat thanks to "Ma and Pa". We bought a deep freeze today and are working on learning to live out of it like Von's mom and mike! They could survive a good 2 years on what they have frozen alone! We are still unpacking and tomorrow we start back with Collegiate Ministry here at Western Oregon University with our Servant Team retreat. Time to get our brains working again!!! We hope you all had a blessed Holiday Season and please feel free to leave comments, suggestions or novels of your own.
We love you all and thank you so much for all our great gifts!! Blessings, Von, Ash, Sage, and Baby ??? aka "Tumbleweed"
