I know that there is nothing better for men than to be happy and do good while they live. That everyone may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all his toil—this is the gift of God.
Ecclesiastes 5:18-19

Hello everyone! I know you are all shocked, right? Well, I'm shocked my self. I really wish I had kept up with my blog, but I have totally neglected it. Well, my goal is to blog the rest of the year. We will see...........
So, in a quick post I will try and fill you all in on the Light's party of 4.

We are in full swing of school still and so want it to be over!! It's been a great year with lots of learning and lots of fun field trips. Our favorites of school have been our CO-OP, P.E., and ART classes. Jeff even got to drop by a few times to see what the kids were up too. He also had the priviledge of taking them on a field trip. Looking forward to wrapping this year up by June. That's the plan!!!

Trever--Oh, our cute little Trever turned 6 this year! I cried on his birthday. Can't believe he's already 6. He is doing great in school and is a very good student. He is reading, and his favorite subject is math. A praise report for Trever!! He was finaling enrolled in speech at Wildwood Elementary! It was an answer to prayer and he loves Mrs. Grant so much. She is amazing at her job. He is as busy as a bee using his imagination and pretending to be Sonic or Mario Brothers most of the time. He is a cutie and makes me laugh everyday. Oh, by the way, did I mention that today he proved that he knows how to swim?? It was great!
Abbie--Well, I can't imagine what she will be as an adult. She already acts like an adult. She wants everything in perfect order at all times. She likes to have a list at the beginning of her day and her goal is to check that list off so she can ride her bike, jump on the trampoline, work in the garden, and play softball. She is Jeff Light made all over again. School is not a favorite of hers and feels her time is extremely wasted, but she endures it. She is a great reader, and she loves to have spelling contest with her daddy. He hasn't stumped her very often. It's quite impressive. She absolutely hates math! She is also in full swing of softball right now and loves it. She's looking forward to summer so that she can spend all of her time in Mrs. Jone's pool. I couldn't imagine life without her. She keeps me straight, motivated, and affirms me in most things. She's a keeper for sure.

Jeff--He is loving life right now. Why, you ask? Well, it's gardening time. He has plowed and planted and he is so excited about the harvest that is to come. I know it will be a big one. Jeff doesn't plant for a party of 4. He plants for a whole community!! He's still leading our small group and doing a great job at it, coaching softball, and taking part in the landscaping of The Warehouse Church. He's busy, and that's what he loves, so he's happy as can be.

Jen--Well, I'm happy too! I've been challenged this year teaching two kids in different grades. I've had days that I cried, and days that I jumped up and down for joy and shouted praises out to Jesus while my children stared at me like I was a crazy person. I've climbed the clinical ladder at work, and actually there is no more climbing. I've made it to the top of my clinical ladder and still can't believe it! It was a huge success. I have also joined our worship team at The Warehouse Church and am loving everything about it. It has been a long time, but loved my time alone with the Father. Sitting was a time for Him to show me that our closeness is not based on our ministries, but based on our relationship with Him. It's a hard lesson for a preachers girl to learn. I'm glad I had this journey with Him.

So, as a family, we are absorbing up any time we have together by watching movies, working in our yard, and helping Abbie get better at softball. We are having a great time!
The pictures posted are just a few of my favorite pics since Thanksgiving..........hope you enjoy!
