Welcome....Here's a glimpse of our happenings!

The verses that have REALLY spoken to me (Sarah) lately....



"Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock." Matthew 7:24-25



Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings. I Peter 5:8-9



From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live. God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us. For in him we live and move and have our being. As some of your own poets have said, 'We are his offspring.' Acts 17:26-28



May the words of my mouth and the mediation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O Lord, my Rock, and my Redeemer. Psalm 19:14



So be careful to do what the Lord your God has commanded you; do not turn aside to the right or to the left. Walk in all the way that the Lord your God has commanded you, so that you may live and prosper and prolong your days in the land that you will possess. Deuteronomy 5:32-33



God, our God, will take care of the hidden things but the revealed things are our business. It's up to us and our children to attend to all the terms in this Revelation. Deuteronomy 29:29 (The Message)

The Friesen Strollers....

Since early 2009, MANY of you locals have seen Luke and me up and down our little town....I have NO idea how many miles I have put on the "blue stroller" (as we call it in our home). Looking through some old pics, I came across some baby pics of Luke in that stroller.... ALL of these walks is something I have thoroughly enjoyed in my life. People often ask me now how Luke, a 4 year-old, does on these walks. Luke does fabulous. Then, I get asked if he's always asking to get out and walk. Nope -- I always respond that he's used to it...I like to think he's been trained to sit in the stroller nicely so Mama can get her walk in :) Then, Kate came along. The "blue stroller" simply wouldn't work anymore with 2 kids. So, before Kate was even born actually, Marc and I talked about a double jogging stroller. Marc, with his awesome research skills, decided THIS STROLLER would be a good one for our family. Then, we started saving for it in a cash envelope (you know, the good ol' fashioned way). Back in February, we bought it! Luke was VERY excited before we even took it out for the first time.... Despite cold days, we've bundled up and been out quite a bit in the last 6-7 weeks....EXCEPT when there was over a foot of snow on the ground :( These awesome kiddos of our's often fall asleep on our walks.... AND, a couple of times now, Kate & I have walked to pick up Luke from preschool -- resulting in stops at a park or two on the way home.... I would LOVE to know how many miles Luke and I logged on that "blue stroller." SO, this time, with the double stroller, the NERD in me is keeping track of the miles. So far, in less than two months, AND with an interruption of a major snow storm, the NERD in me is happy to report that we're at 96 miles :) Wave "Hello" to us if you see us walking (I'm talking to you locals, obviously)....
