Happy New Year!


It seems all the Scott blogs are going by the wayside! It’s been months since we updated. The Shad Point Scotts are still alive and kickin’! It’s been a crazy Fall season and now we’re already into 2010! It all seems a blur!

Our son, Chris came home in September and we’ve all been living as one big happy family. Things are going well and Steve and I can’t even think about the day they’ll move out and take our precious grandsons, Luke and Will. We look forward to every moment we can be together and enjoy them

Steve and I took a little trip to Williamsburg, Va a few weeks ago. It was nice to get away for a short time. Work has been hectic and I really needed a change of scenery. The weather was nasty so we didn’t get to see much but it was relaxing and fun. We bought this time share 18 years ago and really haven’t been able to enjoy it much- it has probably been 10 years since we’d been down there. We were able to get a little shopping done at the outlets.

We hosted about 18 people on Thanksgiving. We have so much to be thankful for this year. I think it was the first time Chris has been home for Thanksgiving since he was in college! Randy, Jamie , and Julianne went to Kansas and Nebraska to be with the Ellis and Stansbury families.

Christmas 2009 was a wonderful time. Our whole family was together for the first time on Christmas in 3 years. We had a great time. On Christmas Eve, we went to Uncle Joe’s and Aunt Marge’s for the extended Andrews Christmas. Then we attended the Christmas Eve service at Cross Pointe and then went to Judy’s brother, David’s house to celebrate with her brothers and families.

Christmas morning was great fun as we watched Luke and Will open their gifts. There was much excitement. Steve and I splurged for a family gift- a Wii- and we’ve been having lots of fun playing various games together. It’s a great tool to bring the family together- well worth the investment!


We are praying for all of our dear ones –friends and family- have a Happy New Year in 2010. God is good and faithful all the time. We are continually enjoying His blessings. May we respond with love and devotion to the One who is the Source of all joy!

For the last 2 years, I have read a devotional book by Kay Arthur. Here is a prayer for all of us as we look toward a new year of God’s work in our lives-

“Holy and righteous God, let us not be deceived by the world’s cheap imitations of happiness. Instead lead us to true blessing and lasting peace as we walk beside You in perfect communion.”
