Tis the season to be aware of the tiny magic everywhere
Merry Christmas and Happy almost New Year! I hope this find you all happy and healthy! We are doing great and keeping incredibly busy! We are done with 3 out of 4 Christmas gatherings. My family comes tomorrow through January 1. It will be a lot of fun...but I really need to start cleaning and planning meals!
The kids and I were able to spend about 36 hours in McCook with my grandma. She is 91 and still host Christmas Eve at her own home and was more than willing to cook whatever these kids wanted to eat whenever they wanted! Santa made an appearance and even brought something for the new baby! Greg was unable to join us as he was on call for work...and didn't want to ask anyone to take call for him because he will need that soon enough when the baby is born!

| Tre' and Taylen with my Grandma |
We are getting Taylen ready to leave for London tomorrow. He will be gone for 7 days with his high school band and will get to play in the Queen's Parade on New Year's Day. (On T.V. on the BBC at 6 a.m. our time, if you are interested!) Once he gets back, we have two weeks to get Tre' ready to move to Florida! But, before we are separated by the big pond, we thought we would have an afternoon of ice skating!
Anyway, I had my weekly talk with Sarah tonight. She had a big day! She met with the social worker from Ohio today and then had a doctor's appointment/ultrasound! She said she is now 36 weeks (still not sure how she gains two weeks every week, but who am I?), and she said everything is going well, although they were not able to get pictures today because he was hiding his face! She did, however, send us a couple ultrasound photos on Christmas Day. What a great gift! I did talk to the social worker (Jenni) this afternoon after her and Sarah met for lunch. She said everything went great and she said Sarah was very sweet. She said Sarah was confused as she thought she was signing the actual papers today! I took this as a very good sign that she showed up to sign the papers. They talked about how it was going to go in the hospital and the fact that we just may not make it for the delivery unless it is scheduled. But that is not in any one's control, so neither one of us should stress over it!
