The kids just went to bed. John is preparing the crepes for our NYE get together with his parents and sister. I have curlers in my hair to look presentable for when they arrive. But I won't be wearing shoes. This Christmas was wonderful and spending it with the twins and our families made it that way. It must have been tough for their mom, since she was without them. Please keep her in your prayers. Please keep another mother in your prayers who is carrying our (possible) niece. She has chosen wonderful people to parent this little girl: John's sister and brother-in-law. We eagerly await her arrival in mid-January. Ellen and Kurt will drive from WI down to Louisiana for the birth. She will be our 9th godchild, an incredible honor for us. This is a baby so precious and a pearl of great price to both her birth mother and her parents.
This beautiful and moving Christmas song about the Baby Jesus makes me think of all children, especially this little baby girl, who come to be in less than perfect circumstances, but who bring light and joy to our lives. I challenge you not to tear up when you listen to the words.
God bless you all in 2011.
Our Sugar Plums at Mere Mere and Pere Pere's house, Christmas night.
Truly beautiful :) I hope you got my email! I continue to pray for you, the twins, and Little Man. I pray too for your niece/godchild. How exciting! God bless and Happy New Year!
Thank you for your kind words (I need to have tissues close by each time I read your blog!) and for being godparents to our daughter. And for sending John out as the family representative for the baptism today. :) We can't wait to come out to visit a bit later this year, and in the meanwhile we're praying for you in the wee small hours each night.
