RWANDA!!

A wonderful family from our church moved to Rwanda last week. Michael is going to be working as a professor of medical residents. Up to this time, there has not been a program available in Rwanda for University students to finish their schooling to become a doctor. The hearts of Michael and Amy (and their 3 boys) are so huge, and their love for all people radiates everywhere they go. They have left a void in our lives, but we know they are shining the light of Christ in Rwanda.

Ransom family

The Ransoms are one of my favorite families. :) Trey, Maria, Lexie, and Champ really are so wonderful. We spent a beautiful fall afternoon taking photos, and here is their Christmas card this year.

My beloved friends

We have become very close to Ali and Josh over the last couple years. When she asked me to take photos of them in front of their new house and make a Christmas card, I couldn't wait to do it! So here it is...the Dugans' card.


I actually even wrote the words on the card! That's how closely our lives were intertwined this year...I knew everything she needed to say! :)

Baby Esther

My best friend Brenda had her baby girl on September 26th. She is so sweet and I can't wait to meet her! I had the privilege of designing her birth announcement and Christmas card...so much fun. I feel so far away (they live 1,200 miles away), but I'm so glad to contribute this way.
