Merry Christmas 2010!

I can't believe another year has nearly past. The years really do fly by the older you get! Anyway, we hope this finds you well and enjoying the life you've been blessed with. We are so thankful to have you in our lives--even though most of you are far from us these days. We think of our family and friends often but particularly so at this time of year. We pray that you are blessed beyond belief and enjoying this beautiful time of year when we celebrate the birth of Jesus. He loves you so much!

Our eco-friendly (read: ECOlogical and ECOnomical!) Christmas card is attached below.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

With love from the Meek's...Steve, Teri, and Judah (and Cassidy, the dog)

It's been a while...

For those of you who (at least USED TO) regularly check our blog to see what's going on in the Meek's lives, I sincerely apologize for being so long between posts this past year. It's been a busy year and I honestly don't know where it's gone so quickly. Anyway, here are a few photos from the past year so you can see how big Judah is getting and how old Steve and I are getting. Ha Ha

I promise I will do a better job of keeping up in 2011. Okay, there it is IN WRITING so now I HAVE to blog regularly. How's that for motivation and accountability?! :) Here are a few pictures taken throughout 2010.

Such A Profound Statement

Tonight Steve and I were doing a family devotion with Judah. After watching the short Bible lesson on DVD, Steve started reading out of the discussion guide. Judah said he wanted to read so he took the discussion guide and began to "read" from it. The next words out of his mouth were so profound...

"The God of Israel came in words."

The lesson was all about ways that we can communicate with God and how He communicates information to us through the Bible...His Word. What a nice summary that Judah put together in that 4 year old brain of his.

My Amazing Hubby

I just want to brag a little bit on how amazing a job my husband does as the Children's Pastor at Heritage Church's Bettendorf Campus. You can see some of the great work that he does by looking at his Kids Ministry Blog at http://www.hcbkids.com/. Amazing stuff! I'm so proud of you, Steve!!!! I love you!

That's My Boy!

We've been anxiously awaiting May since that is when some of our favorite things open for the season. The other day, Judah says to me, "Boy, I can't wait for the zoo and the (farmers) market to open!" I LOVE that Judah loves the farmers market as much as we do!!! I had other commitments but Steve and Judah rode their bikes down to the opening day of the outdoor farmers market this past Saturday and had a great time! We plan to ride our bikes down there as a family this Saturday. Can't wait!

Crazy Hair

As you know, Judah has some pretty curly hair and, some days, it can get to looking crazy and unruly. This morning as I was wetting his hair down and trying to corral the curls into some semblance of a style, this conversation took place...

TERI: Judah, you've got some craaaaaazy hair today. Those curls just don't want to lay down!

JUDAH: Maybe they aren't tired.

What a clever boy! Makes me smile. :)

How Was Your Day?

Steve typically asks Judah how his day went once he gets home from work. The other day, as we ate dinner, Steve asked Judah about his day. Judah told him some stuff that he did throughout the day and then he said to Steve, "Can you tell us about your day, Daddy? What did you do today?"

He said it with such genuine interest and really wanted to hear about his daddy's day. Totally adorable. Made this mommy's heart so proud!
