SAY CHEESE

That is what we did yesterday. We took new pictures for our new albums coming up!! Tyler was a ham as always. He got so into it that by the time we were done he would walk up stand and put his hands in his own suit pockets as if to pose for the camera!! He is getting the whole thing down. Sings, (sort of) plays the mandolin ( sort of) and poses for the fans!!HA!!

Mark is at work in a local studio getting our new DVD edited and I am doing little things that need doing. Including taking down some of our Christmas decor. I am leaving the tree for another week. I just love Christmas that I at least do not want to part with my tree just yet!

Later today Mark's mom and dad are going to watch Tyler for us so that we can record. I will get in about 4 hours and then call it a day. You can only do so much at one time. It is more work than you think. Allot of stress and thinking of how you want to do something and good you want it.

We are starting the year off with a bang!! Five concerts in the first week of January!! And I thought that we were going to slow down!! HA!! This is a good thing. God has and still continues to open doors for us that we could never pry open ourselves. This is how He works in all of our lives doesn't He? We just might not see it in the here and now. God is good!!

Speaking of which Mark just called and a studio just called him and wants him to do some work tonight in Lansing MI. So our plans just got rearranged a little for our recording plans. That is how our life goes. I wish that you all could see us everyday. You would be shocked at how much and what we fit into a day. It is crazy!!

So Mark is going tonight, but we are hoping that Tyler will take a nap, I will record while he is sleeping and then we will use Mark's parents tomorrow. We will need more time than what we are allowed to have today.

Please pray for us we are very busy as you can see. We love knowing that you all are out there praying for us and our every move for our Lord!! We need it and appreciate it very much! May God bless you all in return for your efforts. Talk to you real soon.

God Bless,

Merry Christmas!!!

What a day that we have had. Mark and I and now Tyler always open our gifts on Christmas eve because of having Christmas at Marks parents house on Christmas day. My family always did this anyway, so I love it that way.

We always had our presents on Christmas Eve and stockings on Christmas day. I know might sound a little weird but that is how you get traditions, right? My mom and dad were and still are the best at stockings!! Mom can think of things that NO one else can. And we get some pretty awesome things in them too. One year I even got a real gold ring. When I was about 12. And I NEVER will forget it! They are simply the best!!!

When Tyler got up this morning we all had our stockings. Then about an hour later Tyler got to open one present. Then about 3 hours later we gave him another one. We did this again later and then it was nap time. He finally opened his last gift at about 9 last night. And we started at 10 this morning. SO MUCH FUN!!! He got a stick horse that gallops and neighs and this has been a blast to watch him today. He has gone down the hallway I don't know how many times!!

Tomorrow( Christmas day) we head over to my in-laws and have Christmas. We have blast over there and get LOTS of things. We are enjoying our few days off.

Come Wednesday we are back to work. We have LOTS of thins going right now so please pray. We need your prayers and support.

We hope and pray that you all have a GREAT Christmas and a very happy New Year!!! Thanks again and may God bless you.

Gotta run and get some strength for tomorrow to tear into those packages!!!HA!!

Just 2 weeks!!!

I cannot wait!! Christmas is in 2 weeks!! And I have had the gifts wrapped and waiting for everyone to enjoy them for about 2 months!!! I LOVE Christmas!!! For it is the BEST time of the year.

We have been SO busy lately. We had a very crazy weekend , but for those of you that know us, this is NOT unusual. The Lord has blessed to give us a full schedule and we are VERY thankful. However, sometimes we forget that we need to sleep in between all of this too!!

We did take a little extra time and sleep in Monday. We NEEDED it!!

Yesterday was all the normal Monday chores again. Groceries, suites to the cleaners, post office and laundry. And was it EVER piled up!! YEA!!

Today is CD day. We ran out of allot of our Cd's Sunday night so to work I must go. This is a very GOOD thing!!!

We are thankful to you and ALL of your support to us in MANY ways. May the Lord bless you in return for your faithfulness to us and the Lord.

We hope that you have a blessed season, Merry Christmas and a VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
Thank you for your prayers..................KEEP UM" COMING!!!

God Bless,

What weekend!!!

What a weekend it was!!! We sang 4 times in 24hrs.!!! We are pretty wasted today but life went on as normal today as always!!

Mark was in the studio with a group for about 5 hours. And I ran errands for all the needs. groceries, diapers, and a couple of other things that needed doing.

I also managed to fit in doing about 75 Cd's for us. So that our CD rack will be ready for this Saturdays concert and the Sunday dates as well!!

Thank you for your prayers. The Lord heard them this weekend!!! We had some GREAT financial needs and the Lord provided as always. Plus we did not have real great weather on Sunday morning, but as always again, the Lord took care of us!!

We will update you soon on our week at the Forester house! Tyler is not feeling to good so we went to the Doctor and they have him on 2 different medicines.

He is getting better but keep him in your prayers too!! He gives us life to our house ( that is a good way to say that he is ALL boy). And when he is sick it is just NOT right!!

Thanks again and we hope that you have a GREAT week! Keep us in your prayers and we hope to see you soon out there somewhere.

God Bless,
Andrea
