Christmas time is here! We have had no shortage of winter weather around here, so maybe we'll have a white Christmas. (Honestly, I'm not wishing for one!) When things are busy around the house, they're really busy. But, down time is quite relaxing and this week I've used the time to relax rather than fold laundry or do other housework. Some days housework is therapeutic, other days it isn't! William has settled into a great routine, waking only once to eat and sleeping until 6:30 or later! He takes four naps a day (some days more) and John still takes two naps a day, so I get one-on-one time with each of them. A friend and I have a babysitting co-op, giving me a morning to run errands with William and a morning of having a friend over for John. It's fun to watch the two boys interact; soon I'll be watching John and William play together!
Time is certainly flying by with the addition of William. We anticipated his arrival and once he was here, Thanksgiving came and next thing I know it's December 17! (Husband) John is half-way through his intern year and we'll soon ring in the New Year as a family of four. We are thankful for this busy time in our lives--I'll grow in wisdom and it will pass all too soon!
Here are so snap shots of what we've been up to:

The house has been constructed, and yet to be decorated. Giving up nap/relaxation/get-stuff-done time to decorate it hasn't appealed to me just yet!
Our Christmas Tree! John braved the cold Sunday to pick it up for us.
Floor time with William--he doesn't like to be alone or in one place for long. He's content anywhere if someone is close by. Here he is "watching" me decorate the tree.
In progress
All decorated!
This story never gets old.
And in the same region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with fear. And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.” And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying,
“Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!”
Luke 2:8 - 14
