Dallas Pics

We were reading back over our blog and realized that we forgot to post Keith's pictures from his trip to Dallas. Above are a few pictures of Cowboy stadium and the NBA All-Star rookie game that Keith, Richard, and Mark went to. Cowboy stadium is huge. Of course, "everything is big in Texas!"

Tickets purchased!!!

It is certainly hard to believe that we have been in the States for 8 of our 10 months. We found out the other day that we will be heading back to Taiwan on Monday, May 31 -- a little more than 2 months away. Our airline tickets have been purchased!! We are all ready to get back but we do have mixed emotions in leaving again. Saying our goodbyes to our family and friends will be very hard.

Fun Time at Disney!!

We just returned from Disney. We first went to St. Petersburg, Florida to visit with Keith's mom and step-dad and then we all went to Disney World for four days. We had a great time and for the most part the weather was great.

Headed to Florida!!!

All of us are headed to Florida tomorrow for a week to see Keith's mom and step dad. They live in St. Petersburg so we will spend a couple of days there then drive to Orlando to Disney World. We are looking forward to some nice warm weather. We will post some pictures soon!!

More Snow!!

Hard to believe but it is snowing again here in NC. It has snowed at least 5 times this year. We have been told that we have gotten more snow this winter than all the other 4 winters that we were gone. We are all ready for SPRING!!

Pictures from San Antonio, Texas

Keith, Page, and Levi went to San Antonio, Texas last weekend to visit with Page's sister's family. We had a great time hanging out and visiting with the Clements. The top picture is of Levi and his two cousins at a rodeo. The bottom picture is us (of course) with Elizabeth (Page's sister) and her husband, Justin.

Headed to Texas (Twice)

Keith went to Dallas, Texas last week with a friend to see an old friend and visit a Christian school. He had a great time hanging out with his good friends. They took a tour of Cowboy stadium and did some other fun things. They also witnessed history as Dallas had the most snow in over a century -- over 1 foot!!!

Keith, Page, and Levi are headed to San Antonio, Texas this Thursday to see Page's sister and brother-in-law. Justin and Elizabeth, along with their three kids, have lived there for over 7 years. Justin is a campus minister at Trinity University.

We will post pictures of the two trips soon.

Winter Wonderland!!!

On Friday night and Saturday morning we had a winter storm hit NC. We received around 7 inches of snow -- which is big in this part of the US. The kids have enjoyed it and look forward to another day of sledding. Church was canceled today and we think school will be canceled tomorrow. The picture is of our backyard.

Spirit Week at HPCA

This last week our kids participated in Spirit Week at High Point Christian Academy. They had a great time. Levi and Hunter's picture is on green and white day while Milly dressed up for team day and Wade dressed up for tin foil day.

Milly loves this week at all the schools she has attended. This year she won Freshmen most spirited girl!!

Fun to Be a Wolfpack Fan

Well, not always but this week it was pretty good as the Wolfpack beat Duke in hoops. Keith went to the game. Pictured above is Keith giving the Pack sign while the students stormed the court in the background after the game.

Wade's Day and Hoops

Last Saturday Wade celebrated his 13th birthday. Keith and the boys went to the State - UVA basketball game. It was fun although State did not win. Above is Wade making the "Wolfpack" sign right before he is about to open his presents. It is hard to believe but we now officially have two teenagers in the house -- (see picture above). Wow!!

Also, Keith is enjoying coaching Wade's middle school game. Above you can see Wade in action on defense. The team has a couple weeks left in their season. Thus far they are 4 - 3.

One of the best things about being in America is.....

College football!!! (at least for Keith and the boys). They have all enjoyed the numerous games and are a bit disappointed that the college football season comes to a close tonight.

We are hoping for a good game but are pulling for Alabama -- as we have some good friends that are Crimson Tide fans.

Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year!! We had a great time with all of our family this Christmas and New Year. Most recently, we spent a week in the mountains with Page's family. We tried to color code the picture so folks could easily recognize the different families. We are dressed in blue, Page's parents are in green, Page's brother and his family are in red, and Page's sister and family are in orange.

We hope you have a fantastic year!!

Merry Christmas!!!

We have enjoyed our Christmas here in the States. On Christmas Eve we went to Keith's Dad and step mom's house in Southern Pines. Today, Christmas Day, we went to Keith's mom and step dad's house -- which is near where we live in High Point. On Saturday we will head to the mountains to spend some time with Page's family.

Above are some pictures of our Christmas -- Keith reading the Christmas story (notice the glasses -- the Bible had tiny print), Page modeling her new scarf (notice the haircut), and finally the kids awaiting to see what Santa brought.

Merry CHRISTmas everyone!!

Five Inches of Snow!!

We did get snow here in NC. Our kids were so excited. We went to the Murrow's (good friends of ours) last night and went sledding. That was fun. Today, we messed around in it some more. It was a tremendous blessing to see snow again. Pictured above is Keith with Hunter and Levi. They played some tackle football in the snow. Wade went sledding with a friend while Milly went down to the local park. Page decided to stay inside.

Snow on the Way??

One thing that we hope would happen while we spend these 10 months in the States is snow. Well, today we woke up and all the forecasters are calling for 90% chance of snow!! Hunter and Levi were especially excited. We will post some pictures if indeed it does snow.

Excellent Video

This video does an excellent job of explaining the spirtual state in Taiwan!!

Great Thanksgiving!!!

We had a great Thanksgiving and enjoyed being with Page's family in Clemson, SC. We also enjoyed State's victory over the Tar Heels. It has not been a fun football season for Wolfpack fans but Saturday's victory was a nice way to end!!!

Visit from Family

Page's brother (Will) and his family (wife - Missy and 4 kids -- Webb, Mary Campbell, B, and Maggie) came to see us this past weekend. They are big time Clemson fans so all the boys went to the State-Clemson game while all the girls stayed in High Point. Unfortunately, the Clemson family left happier than the State family.

We are still here!!

I know that you have not heard from us lately but we are still here in NC -- busy as ever. Hunter and Levi finished up their upward football seasons. They both loved it and had outstanding seasons. Wade tried out for the middle school basketball team and made the "B" team. Milly is working hard in school and is trying out for a drama production. We (Keith and Page) continue to share almost every Sunday about Taiwan and how folks can be involved in our ministry. We will post some pictures soon!!
