Happenings

First, everything came back normal for my ultrasound this past Monday. Thank you so much for your prayers!

Second, John is an official UT graduate now! We are so proud of him! My Mom came in town for his graduation, as well as his Mom and her husband. The kids got to come, too, which was fun for them!

It makes me want to sing Rocky Top will always be, home sweet home to me.........

Now you can have it in your head for the rest of the day, too.

Third, this picture makes me laugh.

Except for the chubby blond. She doesn't make me laugh at all.

It's funny how you can think one thing, but then when you see a picture you're all EEK how did that happen? Sometimes I still think I'm all normal and thin and then I see a picture and am like wo, I'm pregnant?! How did that happen? I mean I know how it happened, but how did it HAPPEN, ya know? And sometimes my brain is seriously all confused and doesn't really know what it's saying. Pregnant Mush Brain. It's a real syndrome.

Nine more weeks, friends. Then I will have Newborn Mush Brain. Just FYI. And also just as real.

John and the kids after graduation. See the hood? The orange and white hanging down the back? It was really so cute to see the kids so proud of their Daddy. It brought tears to my hormonal eyes.

Fifth, or whatever number I'm on, it is supposed to SNOW tomorrow and Monday. Like major snow, with accumulation and icy roads and everything. I'm very excited. I love snow, especially in December. Really maybe only in December. And I always dream of a white Christmas. Just like the ones I've never known.

What's your favorite thing about the Christmas season?

What a beautiful family picture. I'm so thankful your tests came back normal.

Congratulations to John on his accomplishment! And congratulations to you for making it through the journey as well. :)

This Christmas season is unlike any other I've ever had. My favorite thing about Christmas this year is truly slowing life down enjoying the advent season and homemaking all our Christmas tree ornaments.

So,so thankful for your good report from the dr. Congratulations John!!! So glad for your snow fun. There was snowfall here Sunday but none stuck. We went "down south" to celebrate with my family and missed it all. My favorite thing about Christmas this year is the music - my girls dancing to it, Lydia's little voice singing carols, caroling at the nursing home with our Keepers at Home group, . . .
