Wrapping presents is exhausting!

Over the hills and through the woods...

...to my house Grandma comes!

We had holiday tea and gingerbread cookies

and just oogled over Cedric.

How fun is that?

if only time would slow down

I can hardly believe my little darling is already over 2 months old and wearing 3 month clothes! He is such a joy...even his "bad" moments are special to me. I almost feel guilty admitting this, but my favorite time of the day is when Cedric has his bath and I get to dress him up. I always did like to dress up my dolls...this one just happens to wiggle a lot more while I'm doing it! Of course, I still have those moments of emotional distress due to huge changes in my life...but truly I am even more overwhelmed by God's grace to me than I was when He sent Luke along. Somehow, I never really believed that I would get to raise my own beautiful babies. I don't know why...maybe I just didn't let myself hope for something that amazing. I'm amazed!

Christmas Blues...

Cookies are great...but I want to open my presents!!! Okay, I'm kidding (sortof). I love and need Christ a lot more than a few wrapped boxes of stuff :) I wish I could bring you all to my cozy house right now to enjoy tea and gingerbread cookies by the fire, surrounded by cheery Christmas decor! Somehow I have all these aspirations of having over so many friends...and seem to never be able to make the phone calls and make it happen. My little "miracle" is making me merrily scatterbrained.
