The Lawrenson Family Carolers

Enjoy the sweet harmonies of The Lawrenson Family Carolers...our album is hitting a Walgreens near you in late June, 2017!

In all seriousness, we were able to carol for some people who really needed some extra Christmas cheer this year...I hope that you're doing something fun and meaningful with friends and family this Christmas as well!

Ho Ho Ho!

On the way up to NJ on Wednesday, we stopped in Norfolk, VA to visit Santa (the real one, you might remember from Last Year) with some great friends. Gwyneth was a little hesitant at first, but Santa pulled out some jingle bells, and he and she quickly became friends. We love how the photos from this year and last year are nearly identical!

More SNOW!

We spent several days last week with our great friends, Mike & Lisa in NJ. We had intended to do the Kirschner Family Christmas in PA on Saturday, but the two feet of snow kept us in NJ for an extra day. Gwyneth loved looking at the snow, but, as you can see below, wasn't too crazy about being in the snow.

Mike decided to build an igloo on Sunday morning...Gwyneth (and the rest of us) were highly entertained.

Thanks so much, Mike & Lisa, for housing us for an extra day/night and helping entertain Gwyneth! You guys ROCK!

SNOW!

Tricia and I have been stranded in NJ for the past few days with some friends during this blizzard...seriously, the most snow fall I've ever seen!

For No Other Reason

I'm posting this for no other reason than that I like it a lot.

Here We Come...

...a caroling!


And, boy, have we been practicing!

One of our favorite Lawrenson family traditions is to go caroling a few nights before Christmas to people's homes...not just singing to anyone, but caroling for people who could really use some extra Christmas cheer in their lives. This year, we're loading up with about a dozen Lawrensons (and, we can all do more than just carry a tune in a bucket!) and heading out one evening next week to have some fun and encourage others!

If you know somebody locally on the OBX who could really use some of that fun next week, feel free to shoot me an Email and let me know who they are and where they live and why they might need our cheer! I won't make any guarantees, but we'll do our best to sing to as many people as we can!

Rough Winter

The cold, germy months of winter are the toughest for CFers, especially those who are already hanging by a thread. Just in the past few weeks, I've read of a half-dozen CFers passing away, some who were waiting for their new lungs.

Please, take the time to pray for the Cystic Fibrosis community this winter. And, if you haven't already, please, please, please, consider becoming an Organ Donor. Here are a couple of quick Organ Donation & Transplantation facts:

> There are over 100,000 people, the size of a small city, on the transplant list in the US.

> There were less than 10,000 deceased organ donors in the US last year. (that's a ratio of 1 organ donor to every 10 transplant patients).

> In the time it takes you to shower today, 1 new name is added to the US transplant waiting list.

> From the time you woke up this morning to the time you wake up tomorrow morning, 18 people will die waiting for their transplant in the US.
