Wow! What a blessed but very busy weekend. It is over. Can that be right? We have striven all year long to make sure that this ONE weekend was not a rush job and that we would be able to savor every moment. Well, we did savor every moment but there were many moments. We started the weekend by having a family potluck with DH's extended family and then woke up early on Saturday (early as in 2:50 am) and grasped for sleep until 5:50 when there was no other option but to get up. Went to my moms before heading off to do child care at church for the Christmas Eve service and then back to moms for gifts and dinner. Got home that night at 10ish....put out cookies and milk, got to bed, woke up for breakfast and gifts then got ready for church....after church, came home for a big lunch and round 2 of gifts with Aunt Shelley and then down for a small nap....after which, Nan-nan and Papa came out to eat AGAIN and watch a movie! Did I say that we are blessed? We are, we truly are. So much going on in my mind right now, so many things changing and some fears rising up in me yet again but today, just for today, all is well. So thankful that Gracelyn looked forward to giving her gifts as much as she looked forward to getting them. Now, to transition back to real life and get focused on getting things in order and ready for Anabelle Kate.....a little over 7 weeks to go....yes, that is right. CRAZY. So thankful for this life. So ready for the new year. I look forward to the new year like some people look forward to a new school year. I am looking forward to a fresh clean calendar and making some schedules for my family. As I think about the new year, I am hopeful that Kevin and I will be able to sit down and make some goals and plan some things out for the new year. Right now, though, my heart is full.
