I am blessed

At this time of year I spend more time being thankful for my family and friends. I have received another blessing. My first born child has given birth to my first grandchild. I can't wait to hold Jacob and introduce myself.

December 25th

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good day and night.

Yeah a grandson

Well to the world Jacob William Cain. I can't wait to meet you.

Belated Birthday

Today Tracy and I made chicken and dumplings and a chocolate cake for dad. I thought it would be more fun to wait until Tracy, Alex and Will were home to celebrate dad's birthday.


Yesterday we set up our tree and put on the lights and tinsel. The ornaments are the last thing to be put up on the tree.

I can't get my mind off of Michelle and Adam today. I know they are excited and anxious waiting to meet the daughter or son.

December

Tomorrow were going to focus on setting up our Christmas tree and decorating the inside of the house.

We've had our early Christmas last night with Patricia and Tripp before they head off with Tripp's parents and his brother to celebrate the holidays with Tripp's grandparents and numerous relatives.

Will is going to be splitting his time between our house and house sitting Price's house.

Tracy and Alex have a 16 hour drive a head of them.

I am counting the hours until Monday when we receive the call about our first grandchild. I'm waiting for the next chapter of my life to begin being a grandma.

School fun

Were doing Secret Santa at school. The other teachers and I know its a good sign when we see the assistant director walking toward our rooms to hand out are gifts. She loves telling us she knows who our Secret Santa's are. Lets see she arraigned this so she would know who every one's Secret Santa is. :)

Fun

Bill and I are having so much fun finding just the right Christmas gifts for our family. Tomorrow we'll barricade ourselves in the master bedroom and start wrapping our purchases.

Saturday

Patricia, Bill and I are heading off to the Plano Christmas parade. Since its a lovely 30 degrees Bill made up some hot cocoa to keep us from freezing with sitting for two hours.

Thought for the day

Integrate what you believe in every single area of your life. Take your heart to work and ask the most and best of everybody else, too.
