Christmas is almost here!!!

Christmas is ALMOST here! The girls are getting really excited!!! Last night, we had Julia's Christmas program at Morning Son Christian School, last Thursday, we had Hope's Christmas program at Morning Son. These programs, reflecting on the birth of Jesus Christ really bring to light the reason for the season!

Last night- before Julia's program, Hope, Julia and I met up with my good friend Allyson and her boys, Dustin & Cody, and we went out to Johnsons north of town to see Santa Clause. It was really cold, but worth it- the display they put on is wonderful. For me, the most special part of the night was when Julia wanted to privately talk to Mrs. Johnson...what she asked her really made me think. Julia's question was "does Santa Clause believe in Jesus?"... Pretty deep for a 6 year old. I'm so proud of my girls- they really do have Jesus in their hearts!

A Great Year!

This was our first year farming up in Ada, MN - we like to call it the Adams/Narum Farms. We were nervous going into this new venture- but what we got out of it was more than we ever could have dreamed. We have formed such a close relationship with my aunt and uncle Carol and David Narum- they are like second parents to both Paul and I. Their expertise and experience were amazing- we were able to learn so much from them - and the crop year turned out tremendously well - more than we could have prayed for. Family is such a blessing! To top it off, my mom and dad have been able to be a BIG part of the farming operation this year too- I think Paul was amazed at the amount of work the "up north" farmers can get done in such a short amount of time! We're learning!

Grandpa T's truck was used most of the harvest season

Now Paul's farm runs both green and red equipment.... Green at the north end and Red down south.
