Happy New Year, girls!

Oh, how are you, my darlings?  I miss talking to you on Skype!  Papa has the laptop with him, so that's why we haven't seen each other this week!
I absolutely LOVE the pictures you sent me this week!  You three are so funny.  Just like your daddy and mommy!
So, have you been able to play in the snow?
Let me tell you what happened today...
A HAWK FLEW DOWN AND WAS TRYING TO EAT ONE OF OUR HENS!  It was awful.  Caleb went out to see the girls and saw what looked like something white in the chicken yard. When, all of a sudden, a hawk flew away up into a tree in the next yard.  The poor chicken was just laying on her back.  He immediately picked her up and brought her into the house.  She was alive, but gasping for air.  She was very messed up with a lot of feathers falling out everywhere.  But the boys prayed for her right then and then they put a blanket on her to keep her warm and held her for a long time.
They used a dropper and put water down her throat and then she was able to swallow and began breathing better.  Caleb was so angry, he rode his bike really fast to Josh's house and got some bee bees to shoot that hawk that was still sitting in the tree!!!  He said he never rode his bike that fast before in his whole life!
She is doing better and I think the shock has worn off.  We cleaned her wounds tonite and the put medicine on the spots that were hurt.  We believe she will be ok.  And I am so happy for that. 
The hawk flew away and they kept the hens in their house for the rest of the day.  Charity is out there with her sisters now sleeping and we'll put more medicine on her tomorrow.

In other news, Papa is coming home from Florida tomorrow morning.  He's been there learning how to be a really great actor so he can tell the people who make movies about Jesus and so he can act in movies, too!  He is an amazing papa! 

We cannot wait to see you guys this spring. 

You heard that Josh is going to marry Carrissa and then you will have new cousins again!  Kyler and Keira!  You are sure to come here for the wedding in September and we'll go to Sea World and play in the water, like we did last time you came.  Ok???

Well, I must head to bed because today was a good, but long and tiring day. 

God is good and He loves you three so very much.
How grateful I am to Daddy God for giving me such beautiful grandchildren and for my five amazing children...that would be your mom, Josh, Dan, Isaac and Caleb.

Tell mommy to give you all kisses and hugs for me!

Forever your gramma.
