My Heart - by Kristen Lea

Here are some great pics from the last week or so of Pistons Basketball. Some pics of "the fight" between McDyess and Garnett.. they were both ejected from that game, and the Pistons won. Jason Maxiell (below) is in his 2nd year in the NBA (first really playing any amount of minutes) and he's being compared to Charles Barkley in the way he plays. He may just become the next "big thing."

My kitten is the cute one in the pink sweater. Isn't she precious? Actually, her name is Piston, and she does actually like to watch basketball games. She tries to go after the ball on the TV and after the players (haha just like I would if I was there). She's the best cat ever and loves to cuddle in the morning but the rest of the day couldn't care less about me. I also wanted to say something about Josh Buck. I was recently made aware of his accident and wanted to say that he is in my prayers, as a family member not only in the family of God, but as a family member from being in Chorale together. That family has been through so much already, I just pray for a speedy recovery for him and more than that God's will in the situation. Please keep Josh and Shelley and the kids in your prayers if you haven't already.

Here are some pictures of the new addition to our family. The first is of my sister Jessica holding Isaak. The second and third are just of him snoozing away. He's such a cute little hami!

I am officially an Aunt. At 6:26 pm on December 27th, my sister gave birth to a baby boy named Isaak. He is adorable. He was 6 lbs 1 oz, and 19.5 inches long (although he's really not that long, he just had a bit of a cone head because he was in the birthing canal for so long. I will post pictures of him when I get a chance... but he's just so precious! I haven't been posting lately because I've been kind of down over the past few weeks. I'm trying to get out of it but nothing seems to be working. If I had a job or money I'd go on vacation, but right now I don't really have many options. It doesn't help that New Year's eve has always been very sad for me... and this year was no exception. Keep me in your thoughts and prayers as I continue to struggle.
