Merry Christmas
I tell you I am feeling more somber than usual this Christmas. Not much news. It has been a good year and we are feeling even more blessed than usual.
Brad has taken to reading quite a bit this year. His current genre is books/novels that are made into screen plays. He reads the book then watches the movies and critiuqes the two. It has kept his mind open and happy.
I have been a bit more crafty than usual this year. Learning to blog has been fun. However, I have been knitting and beading with much of my spare time. It has been fun and is a great way to pass the time with my girlfriends.
Cecilia continues to defy all expectations. She is enjoyable and is communicating more each month. It is great to have our staff of 5. They help me count my blessings and journal all of Cecilia's progress. Many people will say I have it easy with the 2 girls. But I really feel like I have 7 blessings.
Maria is also striving and working hard. She is a fun & kind. Her Christmas list this year had 6 toys and one odd request. She wants a bell off of Santa's sleigh. Hmmmm.
My sister bought a home last month and is living independently. I am so happy for her. She was nervous about it at first. But she is doing great. She took Malcom one of our dogs with her. However, she brings him over almost everyday.
My resolution for this year is to take more photographs. I get so into the moment I tend to forget to photograph anything. Case in point. Our highlight of the year was a visit from Brad's cousins from The Netherlands. We were so busy chatting and having fun that I forgot to break the camera out:( I have resolved to journal and photograph more this year.
Merry Christmas, keep in touch and know you are in our thoughts and prayers.
