This is our Christmas card this year. It was just a random picture we took on our yard in late October. But since we didn't get snow until December 1st this year I thought it was okay to have green grass on a Christmas picture. Merry Christmas to all of you that I won't see before the Christamas season is over.I am very excited for this Christmas season. I was just thinking a year ago and how busy it was for us. We had to many get togethers scheduled to close together. I was still pumping breast milk every three to six hours. And Madelyn's feedings were so particular. Inbetween all the wrapping paper and eating of turkey I was pumping, adding formula powder following a special reciepe, making bottles, breast feeding, and trying not to cry every half hour because I was so thankful to God for giving us the best Christmas gift since salvation......Madelyn.
That leads me to the next topic. How life has changed for Carl and I since we have had a child. Holidays are much more enjoyable for me since no one really asks about us having a baby anymore. How that is such an insenstive question to ask anyone. I will always stop and rethink life questions like that.
Back to the present.....or presents. We have bought a few for Madelyn this year. I am stopping myself from buying to many as Madelyn still has two sets of grandparents, and everyone knows how grandparents spoil there granddaughters with way to many toys.
We a very much looking forward to spending the 25th at home this year, just enjoying the day and all that it brings.
Cheers!
