Christmas and babies…
Wow, what a Christmas!
We decorated cookies, celebrated Jesus’ birth, played with Ava, created a few memories, did a family outreach at Mary’s Place, played with Ava, looked at lights, opened gifts with Craig, Kara, and Paul via Skype, spent time with extended family, and played with Ava.
But, the climax of Christmas for me was opening the last gift from Brad and Jamaica. It contained a creative and wildly unexpected announcement that they were pregnant! We all burst (maybe erupted is a better word) into tears, cheers, and hugs. It was a very joy-filled, meaning-filled, and unforgettable moment.
So, tomorrow we’ll celebrate Ava’s first birthday with family and extended family, in February Mark & Jamie will have a little boy, and next Christmas we’ll have three grand-babies (at least).
Please pass the Kleenex.
It was so nice to finally meet you Tim! I wanted to creepily tell you in person I read your blog sometimes, but I kept forgetting to. I was so happy for them when I heard about their baby! Brad and Jamaica are such incredibly sweet person(s). You have an amazing family. This is Chate’ (sha-tay) by the way. You know, black kid who is major fan of Lauren.
Really hope to see you again soon.
Woohoo! Congratulations!
still catching up on blogs from over the holidays. so excited for you and ann!
