Ahhh...Life is Good
So it's been a busy week, with some stressful moments, but today was productive and now we're all home together as a family. It's raining, and although I've been missing the sun, at the moment it's cozy. Had a great phone call with my far away buddy Amy B, and Nat was totally cute tonight. Now she's peacefully sleeping (a miracle in itself :)), and the hubby and I are just enjoying being in the same room together, blogging side by side and occasionally commenting about it to one another. I'm sipping my Bailey's-spiked cocoa...yummm...in my flannel jammies. After this I'm gonna snuggle down with my good book until my girl wakes up for her late night snack. I love these simple cozy family times--thank you Lord for these moments to recharge.
My book is the latest in the Bodie and Brock Thoene A.D Chronicles, called The Fifth Seal. It's about the events leading up to Christ's birth. I love getting the historical details in the context of fiction that causes me to think more carefully about what Mary and Joseph experienced as people. I'm really excited to see the Nativity movie that's coming out soon. Sounds like a date night to me!
Tomorrow it's the Saturday trip to Wallyworld, particulary noteworthy because on this occasion Nat will be graduating to a front-facing carseat. (sniff, sniff) She's a big girl now :)
Then we'll get the Christmas stuff down from the barn, and I'll finish doing a little cleaning in preparation for getting the tree with our dear group of friends on Sunday. I have this rather OCD process where I need to clean, then methodically take down decor, and replace it with the Christmas decorations. Then I can relax and enjoy choosing, setting up and decorating the tree. Wonder what the girl will think of all of this. It will be so much fun with her this year.
Well, goodnight all and sweet dreams...

Yessss! LOVING the updates! Oh my - thank your boy and your girl for sharing you last night. It was SOOO nice to finally have a full chat with you and catch up a little on life. I cannot wait to see you AND your precious little girl when we come home. How fun will this Christmas be, eh? Oh man - your comment about me increasing and you decreasing made me die laughing! I've never quite heard it used in that context before. Funny! Funny! Yes, yes - I surely am increasing. I'm not quite sure what the deal is. Kev is hoping for twins. Lord, have mercy on us all! Love you tons! -Amy
