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!!

Fall is Here!!!

This is our first fall back in NC in four years. We love all the colors!! Milly, Wade, Hunter, and Levi enjoyed picking out pumpkins at a local pumpkin patch.

Wade's Soccer Team in Championship!!!

Wade's soccer team advanced to the championship game on Thursday. The HPCA middle school team has had a great season. They have won 8 straight games and their overall record is 11-3. They play Greensboro Academy on Thursday for the conference championship. They split during the regular season. It should be a great game. Pictured above is Wade and a couple of his teammates walking off the field after their semi-final victory.

We are COLD!!!

After living in Taiwan for 4 years we became quite content with the sub-tropical climate. In fact, according to the Central Weather Bureau in Taiwan it was around 88 degrees today. Well, here in NC it is a different story. Tonight it is supposed to get down to 33 degrees. Our kids were amazed to see frost on the ground this morning and even more amazed that they could blow smoke from their mouths!! We have been cold these last couple of days BUT at least we have heat inside here in NC.

Football Stars!!

Well, not really but Hunter and Levi are having a great time playing upward flag football this fall. Both have scored numerous TD's and have had a few interceptions as well. They have a couple more weeks left in the season.

Back from VA.

We had a good week in Va. Although it was fun we were all glad to get back to our home in NC. It was rough for a family of 6 with a teenage daughter sharing one bathroom!!

A highlight for the kids was playing football after school let out each day. The place that we went to had a lot of open fields for football. A highlight for Page (and the rest of us) was going to a Travis Cottrell concert. (See picture).

Headed to Virginia

Our family is headed to Va. for some training. We are excited to go back to the place that we lived for 10 weeks in 2005 before we headed to Asia. We will be back in NC late Friday night.

Slides and Music

Labor Day in the Mountains

We enjoyed spending labor day weekend in the mountains with Page's folks. We enjoyed the cooler weather, fishing, climbing rocks, gem mining and all the other things that we did. However, the best part was spending time with Nana and Papa (along with Henry).

Keith and Wade go to State game

Keith and Wade went to the South Carolina at NC State game. It was the first game since 2005 that they had seen live. Although South Carolina won 7 to 3 it was great to be there!!!

Next week the whole family will see NC State play Murray State!!! We are hoping for better results.

Wade's soccer team

Wade made the HPCA middle school soccer team and is enjoying playing. They have had two games so far and are 1 - 1. Wade is a defender. Above is a picture of the team at halftime. Wade is #11.

Slideshow of Morrison

This is a slideshow that we put together to show as we go around to speak to people about Taiwan. It is mostly of our kids and their activities at MCA the past two years. We hope you enjoy.

Keith Turns 43!!

Keith celebrated his 43rd birthday by going out to one of his favorite places -- a Japanese restaurant called Fire and Stix. Keith's mom, step-father, grandmother, and aunt along with Page and the kids went along. It was a great night of fun. Above is the birthday boy being song to.

First Day of School at HPCA!!

Today was the kids first day of school at High Point Christian Academy. All of them had a good day and we are so very thankful that HPCA is here and our kids are attending. Above is the annual group photo of the 1st day. Hunter and Levi are also pictured in their respective classrooms. The camera was not allowed in middle school or high school -- according to Wade and Milly.
