Merry Christmas

a few days late. casey, kyle, david, ty [our dog] and i finally made it out of stillwater on christmas day. if you didn't see the weather, oklahoma got hit hard with snow this year which made heading back to missouri a little tougher than normal. but after 10 hours in the car [normally only 7.5 hours] we made it back to the big town of unionville. david was a champ - i guess after you have flown across the ocean [22 hours flying] what's a short car ride. i wish i could say the same for our sweet dog. sadly, he got sick in uncle kyle's car. thankfully he was in his kennel so the mess was contained but smelly just the same. sorry uncle kyle.

it has been great to be home. david has done AMAZING with all the craziness. i have to admit was a little scared to come back after only being home with him for two weeks. meeting lots of new people is tough on our sweet little guy. the only thing he is struggling with is sleep. he is sleeping less here than we was back home which means he and i are pretty tired. sadly, he actually does better tired than i do.

he has played and played with cousin cayden and cousin jude. ok, so they aren't really playing together as much as they are co-existing together without fighting.

we are incredibly blessed! god, i am grateful for the birth of your son and am humbled by the gift of his death and resurrection. help me to tell the whole story.
