Christmas Eve: Pictures by Martha!

We drove to the greater Seattle area yesterday from MT. Our roads were better than expected. I can't say Mishayla enjoyed the trip, but then would any one year old?

I went to work today at my old job. It was wonderful to see everyone again, but I am still excited to have moved on to owning my business.

Christmas Eve finds us staying at my sister's house, even though she and her husband have left for Canada. Housesitting and catsitting. It's nice.

We are looking forward to seeing lots of friends and family while visiting WA, but disappointed that we won't be able to visit Caroline this trip. Thanks to all of you who have asked about her and how she is doing.

Enjoy the picture collage. My friend Martha and her husband babysat the girls today and this was the result. Martha is an amazing photographer (and friend!), and you can visit her blog -- Sew Fab Martha.

The Gift of Life

The Gift of Life
"I didn't give you the gift of life,
But in my heart I know.
The love I feel is deep and real,
As if it had been so.
For us to have each other
Is like a dream come true!
No, I didn't give you The gift of life,
Life gave me the gift of you."
