Christmas Is Coming


The holidays seem to have us bustling around like never before. There's the church Christmas muscial, Scott's office party, Reagan's preschool Christmas program, etc. Even with two days of relative freedom each week (with Presley in tow, but no Reagan), I still can't seem to get the shopping or baking or Christmas cards finished.

Nevertheless, life goes on. Presley is growing by leaps and bounds. She is eating all sorts of fruits and veggies now, so we've had some pretty interesting diapers. She's also beginning to sit up on her own and will probably be crawling before you know it! She says, "Dada dada dada," but so far she hasn't said, "Mama." Big sister is trying to teach her to say, "Reagan," too.

Reagan is getting ready to debut in "A King Is Coming to Town" at church. We constantly hear, "Extra! Extra!" being sung thoughout the house. Both sets of grandparents will be in the audience, so it will be interesting to see if she performs as she is capable or if she instead clams up with stage fright. I'm guessing the first. She's been quite the little ham in rehearsals.

We saw Santa this weekend, and Reagan asked for a Princess Guitar. She also wants a Baby Alive, but I told Santa she couldn't have one until she was four. (I'd be the one having to feed it and change its diapers.) Grandma says she'll buy Reagan one if she stops sucking her thumb. I don't think I have to worry about that happening any time soon.

May you and your loved ones experience the joy of Christ during the season that celebrates His birth!
