Happy New Year!

Happy New Year--2011! Here's the orange Becker family after our bike ride. We praise God that we are all healthy now and can enjoy family time together.

Malachi is a growing boy! Precious lamb!

Here we are at "Crocodile Farm", kind of like a really small zoo. We praise God for these family times together.

The boys look at crocodiles! AhHhhh!!

I look like I'm in Africa here with this ostrich! Elijah is old enough to enjoy the animals even more now! Fun!

Yay! Elijah is learning to pose in funny pics for his Mama. He even says "Picture!" Last time we came a long time ago he was scared to stick his head in there. Now he knows it is a statue.

The innocent lamb, Malachi! Scary!

Boys on safari! We did not get many pics with the real animals, as you can see!

Brothers! We love our boys. Thank you, God!

Ready for church--the Becker guys! I'm glad one of them is excited! Haha!

Merry Christmas

Here's a precious moment with the boys at bath time! I hope it is legal to post these! So cute!

Here is Elijah thinking about Uncle Daniel. I love you! Big hug!

Christmas morning, Elijah and I played with the Nativity. He loves to tell the story! His favorite Christmas carol is "Gloooooo--ria....en excelsis deo!"

Getting the package from Grandma! Our Christmas this year was the most simple one I've ever had. Malachi had a fever and mostly slept. We stayed home and just took it easy. Truly this one was the most about singing, worship, Bible stories, and the Lord than any I've had. Very simple.

Here you can see our little Christmas tree and the quilt from my Grandma for our wedding in the window! Lovely!

This is really the only time all day that we took pictures, but later Nate made lunch and we just sang and played.

Here's Malachi's toy from Grandma, while Elijah hits Malachi on the head with the fishing pole (see Malachi crying). This is more realistic, isn't it, folks?! Haha!
