It sure was merry.


You know it's time to blog when your husband mentions you haven't posted anything in a while.
The truth is-- I've been enjoying. 
All the time together, games played, present discovering, family togetherness---
 I've been enjoying all of it. 

 This Christmas has been one of the best we've had in a long time, if not ever. 
Between the good news we've received for family members in sticky health situations
 to the way the girls played together ever-so-sweetly
 to the upcoming trip to meet little sister--
 it truly has been the most wonderful time of the year. 

I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

'Tis the Season

Well, hello there!
Guess who forgot she had a blog...
Okay, that's not true. 
What it is true is life...just life. 
Things have been crazy busy here lately-- like far more crazy than the normal crazy we typically beat to around here. 

Several extended family members are battling some pretty big stuff health wise. 
That combined with adoption, Christmas, and the busiest time of the year Noonday wise have left me with no time to spare. 

AND-- did you hear the big news????
I'm headed to Congo to meet our daughter in January!
She won't be coming home with me (still no idea about when that might happen), 
but I will be meeting her and caring for her and loving her like crazy next month!
Needless to say, there's a lot that goes into a trip like that. 
More to come on this soon. 

But for now, I just wanted to leave you with a picture of Hollyn 
from last week's preschool Christmas program. 
Is there anything cuter than a group of preschool kids singing Christmas songs? 
I think not.
