Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Hi everyone!!

It's been quite a year, and we've much to be thankful for. :) Most of all, our family, especially our sweet little girl.

I'll try to write more later, there's diaper to change... ;) but wanted to know how thankful we are for all our friends, near and far, and for our family. God bless you and may your 2009 be filled with JOY, LOVE, LIGHT and PEACE.

We love you, and are thankful for your friendship, prayers and love!

Warmest wishes,
Skye, Javkhaa and Enkh-Yvelle Abigail

Happy Mother's Day...

to all moms out there! :) Hope you have a wonderful day and feel celebrated and pampered on this special day. And Happy Mother's Day to all the special women who have mentored and mothered others throughout their lives. This day is for you too!

We saw my mom a few weeks ago when we were visiting PA. It was good to see her and I'm thankful she's doing so well. She's really looking forward to the arrival of her next granddaughter (in about 6 weeks)!

We also saw my aunt, uncle and cousin Amy during that visit--it was great to have time with them too and catch up a bit.

Since we've been back to VA, it seems like things have been non-stop. Javkhaa finished the semester (woo hoo!!! I'm so proud of him) but the ISO (Int'l Sts Org) has had a graduation banquet and a rose sale during Commencement to plan.


Here's the gang having some lunch at a "Mongolian BBQ/Sushi" place. ;)

Javkhaa recently gave me a plaque with the verse that meant so much to us last year on it: Philippians 4:6--Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God your needs and don't forget to thank Him for His answers.

I need to learn how to do this!!! Perhaps I have always been a worrier, but somehow it seems like it has gotten much worse in the last couple of years. In high school and college, I remember being more relaxed and having an attitude more like, "Well, everything will work out somehow...". Now I find myself again and again stressed out by a situation over which I may not even have much control. I know this is not how the Lord wants me to live. I need to really learn how to give things over to HIM (including, perhaps especially, my reputation) so that I can live with a gentle and QUIET spirit, at peace, trusting HIS goodness, mercy and love. Help me, Lord!

Well, it's about time to start getting ready for the day--hope you're having a great weekend, wherever you are. :)

Happy Fourth!

We had a great time with friends from Regent... who we were able to host at the lovely home where Javkhaa and I were house-sitting... :)
