A Very Belated Marshall Post

Hello everyone. Yes, I know, it's been several months since I lasted posted. Most of it is due to the computers I used to use, which are running out of space! So adding more photos to them makes a very slow computer.... :( But, I am up and running again since I now own my own new laptop(!!!!), which was gifted to me from my papa. :D Thank you papa!

 Well, here it is a new year, and I've fallen behind in blog posts.... :) So, I will give you a quick update on the last few months since my last post.

October found me (Catrina) traveling this side of the earth a great deal! I was invited to travel to Wisconsin with the Bridges family, to watch Hannah my dear dear friend be baptized (and to also photograph the event for them.)

Four days home, then back on the road to attend a wedding,

 and travel on back to Michigan again to work on the house. On the way back, Allison and I were dropped off in Tennissee for two weeks to visit our dear friends the Adams,

 (Elizabeth & I on a walk)

 and spend some time with the DeLa's! :D

Thanksgiving came upon us quickly after we returned home. We had the Bridges and two airforce men join us. Papa and Allison prepared a five course meal of  soup, salad, turkey, fruit and cheese. Evvie made dessert. 

Evvie turned 22

Allison turned 28

We had a lovely Christmas week with Grandma Steere.

Papa's Birthday

Mama's Birthday

We also had the wonderful pleasure of seeing the 

Wissmann Family in concert!

And we met the Bontrager family singers a week later!

I hope to be posting some more pictures soon. 

I just wanted to catch up on all these last few months 

and I hope you enjoyed them!

The Long Road Home....

Sunday morning found us driving home
in the rain! Our first stop was the local
Wawa's for Mama's coffee, then it was
time to really hit the road. Papa had flown
out of Philly on Friday, soooo.....
we gals was drivin' solo :)
The trip was uneventful until we got
into Michigan and realized that we
really do like the idea of moving to Texas
if only for one reason....
NO SNOW!!!!
Yep, the snow met us, gave us a slightly longer
last-leg of the journey, and got us stuck in the driveway....

But we are thankful to the Lord for getting us home safe,
and for a lovely vacation :)
