Ok...now to give some time attention my poor, neglected blog. I would much rather my blog be neglected though than my family. :)
Let's see--I am officially done nursing Abby. She..yes..SHE just decided that she was through with it. I couldn't believe it. She wanted nothing more to do with being nursed or even drinking out of a bottle. I couldn't have been more unprepared. I tried to get her to do both at least one more time so I could say "this was the last time" but nope. All she wants is her sippy cup. I was thankful it was so easy but also sad at the same time. My baby is growing up.
We are celebrating Christmas with my family this weekend. We are all really looking forward to it. Mom and Dad are stock piling the pantry, fixing all of our favorite foods, and have got some really fun gifts for us to open. I can't wait. Another thing to look forward to is Brian's vacation time. He is taking two weeks off and we are all super excited. I love Christmas. Will is also super excited about Christmas this year. We have picked out Jesus' birthday cake and will be having an all out birthday celebration Christmas morning. He keeps asking what we are getting Jesus for His birthday. Any ideas?? I am not quite sure how to answer that one.
Not much else to report so I will just end this post by writing that I am so very thankful for all that God has given me in my life...for the sacrifice of His son, for the grace that I live under, for a husband that loves me so dearly and is so committed to me and our family, for my sweet, sweet babies, for my wonderful extended families, and for all the kind, generous people in my life. I am undeserving of God's favour but so very grateful. So, tonight and every night I celebrate all that I have in Jesus Christ who is my redeemer and savior. I am so blessed.
Our parish once had a toddler who gave her pacifier to baby Jesus who needed it more than she did, so if you want the kids to "give up" something, that would be a good gift and a good time for them to move on. So glad Sissy made her decision and hopefully your health will be back on track when you are feeding only yourself and can medicate as needed. Bonnie
