We're gearing up for the next few days of fun and family time, celebrating the Holiday with our loved ones. This time of year we try to get together with as many old ( & new) friends and family. We're actually managing to do a pretty good job of that this year a little bit a time...but if we don't see you, please know we are thinking of you and wish you a very merry Christmas with your loved ones. We've loved all the Christmas cards, letters and pictures that you've shared- thank you!
On my favorite Christian radio station they play comments from listeners occasionally throughout the Christmas music, reminding us of what the season is really about.
One woman says something that really sticks with me and has served to alleviate much of the holiday-related stress and anxiety.... Christmas is about the birth of Jesus. It's not about the shopping, it's not about the presents, it's not even about the Christmas trees. So I'm sharing that with you...I hope that little reminder can help make this time of year a little merrier for you and your loved ones. Happy Birthday Jesus!!!

Busy Busy
I know everyone is busy this time of year. But that's my excuse for not posting anything lately.
We are doing fine. Girls finished preschool today until after the new year. They are both very chatty and inquisitive. They are excited about Christmas time.They love the lights and ornaments and music. They are addicted to watching Polar Express over and over again.
Or as they call it "choo-choo train show". It's very educational.... we've learned about hot chocolate, reindeer, bells,the North Pole and how to say "ALL ABOARD!!!" and "MERRY CHRISTMAS!!" very loudly.
We did make a trip to visit Santa at the mall earlier this month. It wasn't bad...but Shelby tried to escape and Jerzy just sat on his lap and cried. Knox sat patiently as he always does.
Knox will be 11-months on Christmas Eve. WOW! He's still a happy guy, even though he's had a yucky cough and runny nose lately. He's not walking yet, not even attempting it. He knows he can get anywhere and everywhere in two seconds by doing his commando crawl.
Andrew is almost done with work travel for the year and is looking forward to being home with the kids quite a bit during the holidays, while I pick up extra days at work.
We are gearing up for a busy Christmas week with family and friend get-togethers. It is a crazy and hectic time, but we love it! Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying all the joys of this holiday season.
