This is me... I have a terrible sore throat and can't talk. Literally, I can't talk.  So, this is my children today.... "Oh, did you to say something to *me*, Mommy? "(don't forget to notice the sweet angelic glow about their innocent faces as they say that with a straight face.... ). Ok, it hasn't really been that bad...

Our church's Christmas program went off without worries this weekend. We did two shows for the community. Nice number of people came and we know of one man who gave his life to Jesus after the Saturday show. I haven't heard anything regarding the Sunday show but there were some people asking questions. Hopefully the questions will lead them to the Answer! The cast and choir and musicians have been rehearsing for this since late October. These past several weeks have been crazy with hours of practice each weekend flowing into days of nightly run-thrus this week just past. Whew.... what are we going to do with our extra time now? lol

It was fun to be onstage again - it has been many years (about 16 actually). Chloe, Mitch, Corrie, and Suzannah participated as well ... everyone has the acting bug now. It would now appear that I will be looking to add homeschool drama classes to our lengthy wishlist of outside courses to take.

Needless to say, I am behind in just about everything We just had our little tree decorating evening (usually it is done on Thanksgiving weekend). But, that was partially due to not being able to put the silly thing together after having had it in storage for so many years. Who would have thought it would have been helpful to *save* the instructions?? I am sad to say that a box of our ornaments is missing - we didn't realize it until all the other stuff was up on the tree. I am a forgetful person and my silly little things help me remember events and places...oh and I am maybe just a little sentimental too. The ones that I can remember that are gone are those we bought in Germany when Chloe was a baby.

Mitch's birthday is in two days - he kind of forgot about it in all the excitement of the church production.
My great aunt's 90th birthday is on the 30th of this month. The children and I are going to drive over to her party leaving the day after Christmas. Allen doesn't have any days left to use so we will be leaving him behind. It is just a 2 1/2 day drive - but who is counting the hours??? You know, I am actually excited about it. Due to a number of things, we just haven't gone and done much traveling lately (I don't count all the hours in the car driving Chloe back and forth to lessons and classes. Neither do her dear siblings who get tired of being in the car on those days). I am just praying that there isn't a snow or ice storm or anything like that. yikes.

Oh, almost forgot to mention (how could I forget??)...Hudson still isn't potty trained. LOL Ok, I know - he won't go off to university with a package of Depends under his arm.   It would be nice in some ways though not to worry where the wipes and nappies are located.
