What a privilege to get to see family on the east and west coast during the holidays!
Our Thanksgiving was spent on the west coast with John's family in the Seattle area. Snohomish to be exact. When we got there, to our delight, there was snow on the ground with the promise of sledding in the backyard the next day! The boys LOVED it! I got out there too, and so did John's parents and his brother, "Uncle Paul". Some people in this group even went sledding in their bathing suits!!! But those people will remain unnamed :) there was a hot tub near by which made it bearable! A thrilling Thanksgiving morning!
Karen, John's mom, made delicious pumpkin pie, home made rolls and an assortment of yummy holiday delights. It was a treat to be there. We did fit in some Auburn football- another thrill! so glad we won!
Soon we will be traveling to South Carolina to visit my parents. My sister, Emily, and her husband Wade will meet us there! We are driving... and so we are hoping that it goes well! It will take us a good 15 hours with our 2 year old Caleb, and nearly 4 year old Jacob.
They are a delight. And. Busy! Jacob keeps us laughing with his songs, phrases, and new expressions. Caleb is our sweet cuddler who adores his brother and will not be out done when it comes to being a socialite! All extroverts? really.. I need company here folks :)
Our newest family member , Lord willing, is arriving around May 8th! We are looking forward to the arrival of baby #3! Waiting until the spring to find out if this will be a boy or girl!
Many blessings and at the same time I am challenged to remember that my trust is not in all these good things. With a thankful heart for the blessings, I lean toward what's true:
"Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord, is the Rock eternal" Is. 26:4
Merry Christmas!
