New Additions to the Kitchen

We had Christmas a little early for the adults in our household. We had granite counter tops installed as well as a new fridge, a smooth surface cooktop, and a retractable downdraft. Santa did some heavy lifting this year!

Visitors from Africa

We had the wonderful opportunity to host two boys from Africa at our house for a couple days. Their names were Joseph and Enock. They were part of the African Children's Choir that performed at our church and that our church helped sponsor. The concert was amazing, as were all the children. Many of the children come from the war torn countries of Africa and many have lost parents and/or siblings in the various conflicts.

It was a wonderful experience for everyone. It really helped open our eyes (especially the Wiese boys). Joseph and Enock were especially fond of Cooper, whenever we were taking pictures, they always wanted Cooper to sit next to them.
One of the highlights of their stay was getting to sit in a brand new Hummer. Dave took them to the Lexus/Hummer dealer in town and they were so excited. They loved all SUV's, but especially Hummers.
Here's a couple snapshots.
