Traveling...

We've been on the road for the last week and a half...hence the long time of not posting anything. We had our end of the semester time with our staff team a few hours North of Eau Claire, then we were home for a day and a half before we went to spend Christmas with our families. Now we're at our Christmas conference with roughly 30 students from UWEC and 1100 students from our region. It's one of my favorite things that we do, and it caps off with a rousing New Year's Eve celebration. So we'll get home eventually :). We hope you all had a great Christmas and have a fun New Year. Much Love, the Joneses

Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!! I have been thinking of you guys a whole lot during the holidays. I enjoyed your card and also your mom's. I decided since you guys "skipped Christmas" I would try "skipping payments" this season. :) Sound like a plan? Well, it was a nice thought anyway.
We are anxious for June to get here. Shelley is doing just great. Has this little tiny bump only. She looks so cute.
I am on my way to work so will try to get on more often.
love you two,
p.b.

Aaron and Heather,

I have been thinking of you alot over the last couple of weeks. I hope that you had a wonderful Christmas. There was a poem that I wanted to share with you before Christmas but I was unable to get it to you I hope that sharing it with you now is Ok. I read it over and over our first Christmas that we lost Connor.

Its called Merry Christmas From Heaven
I still hear the songs
I still see the lights
I still feel your love
on cold wintry nights

I still share your hopes
and all of your cares
I'll even remind you
to please say your prayers

I just want to tell you
you still make me proud
You stand head and shoulders
above all the crowd

Keep trying each moment
to stay in His grace
I came here before you
to help set your place

You don't have to be
perfect all of the time
He forgives you the slip
If you continue the climb

To my family and friends
please be thankful today
I'm still close beside you
In a new special way

I love you all dearly
now don't shed a tear
Cause I'm spending my
Christmas with Jesus this year

Every year I read this and have it my our tree we will never forget our little ones. Thinking of you often.

Love and Prayers,
Josh, Tammi, and Olivia Pond
