Christmas Time

Well, we are two days away from our next Christmas party and I am not done shopping yet. The weather has not been cooperating with the time I have available to shop. Oh well, we always make the deadline even if it by the hair of our chinny chin chin!

Tom has enjoyed a few days off between jobs. He was a little worried after the first blast of snow because we do not have a snow blower and the Kyle & Cody duo would not have been able to handle the amount that was dumped on us. Luckily we have a great neighbor who let Tom use his snow blower, thanks Rick! We are so glad that Tom's Aunt Christie and her boys have made it safely to Michigan to spend Christmas with the Andrews' family, I think it has been 10 years since we've gotten the entire family together. Tom especially likes gaming with his cousin, it's bonding time.

The next appointment for Tom is a consult with Dr. Campbell, his Oncologist, in Mid January. We can relax for a few weeks anyway and just deal with life. I am not sure what the next test, poking, or prodding will be until we have this consult.

I want to wish everyone a safe and blessed holiday. Thank you again for being there, checking on us, and praying for our family. I realize that we are not the only family dealing with some kind of issue; we are so touched that you have made us part of your life. My hope is that you will stop and think about the reason for Christmas, more than the family time and presents, but the Christ child who gave his life for us and this is truly a reason to celebrate. Merry Christmas
