Oh wow, it's been 2 weeks since I have posted.  I didn't realize I had been THAT busy, but I have.  The weeks are just flying by, which is a good thing when your beloved is away!  Of course that means that the time I have to prepare for him being home is also flying by so it's a bittersweet thing! =)

So much has been happening!  We've decorated  the house for Christmas, has Christmas events to attend, been fellowshiping with other friends and families, having family in our home, spending time in Our Lord's house and so much more. 

Since last Wednesday afternoon I have been 1 child short.  The weekend of the 9th was when Little Monkey sang in church with the rest of the children from the church.  It was a "Celebration for our King"  that all the children put on.  There were SO many of them, it was cute!  =)  That weekend my MIL, sister and niece came to see him sing.  For my MIL it was a short trip just to see Little Monkey sing, but for my sister and niece they made a time of fellowship out of it staying til Wednesday afternoon.  Since it's a 4 hour drive to her house we decided just to go ahead a send Little Monkey down to her house since he was to be going this week anyway so they could go down to our parents house for the Annual Christmas Cookie Baking Day.  It's been nice to have a little break and to spend some one-on-one time with Princess JoJo.  She doesn't get that much even though I try.  It's also been nice to do some deep cleaning and get some sewing done while she is napping.  Little Monkey will be meeting up with us in N GA for Christmas, Christmas Eve day.  Our Marine will be getting off for almost 2 weeks of leave come this weekend, so we are really excited since it's been almost 3 months since seeing him!

The other day as I was driving I heard one of the radio speakers say something of this nature.  "At Christmas time a mom does not do the seasons tasks in lue of her other duties but in addition to them."  This is so true!  But I hope no matter what that I and every other mother are remembering to teach our children the REAL meaning of this season and that's to Celebrate our King and His sacrifice for US!
