Little man Old man

Andrew had his tonsils removed and tubes put in his ears again today. Please, please, please pray for a quick and easy recovery for him. Also, please pray for my Grandfather. He is dying of colon cancer. We are praying for mercy and comfort for him. In the aftermath of Andrew's surgery, we cannot travel for about 10 days. We want to be with my family as soon as we can after his meeting with Jesus. Lots of issues come into play. Please pray for our wisdom.
Thanks!

Logic and Birthday

What is logic? In the little world I live in, logic often comes into play trying to figure out my kids. Not always the best plan. Marianne had 6 teeth for a long time...then number seven came in (a third on the bottom). Still fussy, I used my logic to determine that she was getting number 8 (the fourth on the bottom). I spent a few days wondering why the orajel I was diligently applying to the soon-to-be eighth tooth was not helping, when upon more investigation....I found three molars. Yep, three, to none of which I applied said orajel. Poor baby. So, now she has 11 teeth, but still no fourth bottom front. Next time, logic will have to take a back seat.

This is Birthday week for a little man turning three on Thursday. He's had one party, tonight he'll open out of town family gifts, and Thursday, the best gift will be that Daddy is taking the day off....just.for.him. Pictures and fun will be posted this weekend.

Its Beginning.....

to look a lot like Christmas!!!! Yeah! I love it. Andrew has done a fantastic job making some new ornaments for our tree this year. I made a very educated guess that I probably don't want my crystal snow flakes on the tree this year. This education came from simply watching my daughter. I am totally convinced that she will climb the tree at some point. To avoid said catastrophe, we have put our tree in our front door entry way this year. Something VERY new to me! BUT by doing this, we can put our baby gate up in front of the tree to hopefully slow her down. HOPEFULLY!!!!
So, tree is up and decorated, garland is on the mantle, stockings are hung, Christmas village is set up, dining room slider has pretties hanging on it, and a centerpiece is made and on the table (really it's just a toy for my children to destroy and watch me put back together). How is your decorating coming? Are you ready to celebrate the coming of a Savior? We are!!!
Merry Christmas, may this season be wonderful for you!
