dual personalities

Another busy week gone with the wind. Good grief, where does the time go? I’m not sure, but my routine has been disrupted by holiday office parties on school nights (!) and similar activities. I’m certainly not complaining. ‘Tis the season and all that.

Our weekend should be relatively calm. I will continue at a leisurely pace to wrap presents and write cards. Daughter #1 is coming home to help us trim our big tree. Hopefully the wee babes and their parents will come over for dinner on Sunday.

Lottie is on the verge of crawling.

This time last year we were very worried about the wee babes who were only a few days old and so tiny.

We were at the NICU every day then and on that Friday daughter #2 and I were caught going home in a freak ice storm that wrecked havoc with traffic for hours. How blessed we are to have gotten through that time and to have our darling babes happy and healthy and ready for their first real Christmas. I reminded someone yesterday that we had many people and churches of varying denominations praying for those babies back then, and we are very grateful. The power of prayer is a real thing.

Rejoice always,  pray without ceasing,  in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. (I Thess: 6:16-18)

As it is Friday,  I want to point out to you that TCM is airing a lot of Christmas movies in the coming days, including tonight:

Set your DVR for some seasonal fun. BTW, The Shop Around the Corner (1940) is the movie upon which You’ve Got Mail (1998) is based. James Stewart and Margaret Sullavan–check out the original.

Have a great weekend! Keep the faith.
