This week

Last Saturday, we got our tree set up and have been adding ornaments as the days go by. Our most special ornament we added today. It is of Linus reciting the Luke 2 Christmas story. Mike got it for us last year.

We finally got over Jenelle's 2nd case of pink eye (the other eye this time) after going to the doctor and getting another prescription of eye medicine. We're all glad to be done with the eye drops.:)

I took the kids with me and we did some Christmas shopping. That was my first official trip just to do Christmas shopping. It's not done, but it is started. I was also able to do some shopping online. That's always nice.

We went to my parents' last night to celebrate my dad's birthday (actually on Thursday). He turned 69. It was fun to be with him and my mom to celebrate--chicken and rice, broccoli, cranberry jello salad and banana cake. Mmmm.

Today, I got to go to a Christmas Tea that my friend, Sheri, hosts each year. It was a fun time of chatting and being served. Mike and the kids put up our Christmas lights as a surprise while I was gone. I love them.

Mike's diabetes is getting more under control all the time. We are grateful! He's doing great managing it. I'm very glad he cares about his health--for him and for us.

We may actually get to go to church tomorrow. That would be neat. God is good.
