It's a rare thing when the Eckerts have a morning with n.o.t.h.i.n.g planned.
We celebrated the rainy day with everything cozy: makeshift movie theater, hot cocoa,
Delightful.

Message From Ron
Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue, but with actions and in truth.
1 John 3:1
The early church father St. Francis of Assisi said, “Preach the Gospel at all times, and when necessary, use words.” This Advent Season I came home to the following picture(s); which shortly after would be preached (delivered) to those in our community where our incarnate Lord can often be found.
Three beautiful girls, a counter of activity, 12 bags, thoughtful food, food for thought and a Toyota.
What a gift! My favorite gift of the season.

Christmas 2011
Christmas was, well, wonderful. We hosted Mimi and Papa this year and woke up in our own beds on Christmas morning, which was incredible. The girls embraced the morning with an abundance of screams and giggles. We all enjoyed watching them take it all in. Post Christmas, the temperature soared to summer-ish degrees and we took full advantage. There were walks, jogs, bike rides and even some paddle boarding to be had by all. We celebrated birthdays, Skyped with family far away, ate, talked, hung out with friends, went out to eat, and even saw a movie! Ron and I rang in the new year with friends and actually stayed up hung in there until 12:00! We decided that it was over rated (the staying up, not the friends), although we do love Ryan Seacrest.
We wrapped it all up with the Rose Parade with the Hunts on the 2nd.
Starting Tuesday, all were back to work and back to school and I must admit that it kind of sucked.
I like being together and playing all day long! I guess that's why they call it vacation!!
We are certainly grateful for this season and this year. We are grateful everyday for family, friends, our girls, health, jobs, the list goes on and on. Most of all we are blessed to be loved by a gracious God who sent his son for us.
