'Tis the Season

What a whirlwind of a couple weeks! I don't know about you but I'm not sure where December went! It's almost gone already! Mathwon traveled last week to Chicago for a conference. Demani and I thought about going but we all decided it was better to stay home! A good call :) We had visits from Aunt Tiffany and Grammy while Mathwon was gone. We had a busy couple of days while he was gone. Monday, the 12th Demani and went to my work Christmas party at Spring Arbor University. It was a good time and it was the first time that my former coworkers got to see Demani. Tuesday we went to the mall for 4 hours! We were supposed to go with our friends Angel and Elijah but Angel wasn't feeling well and ended up spending 8 hours in ER for what they think was kidney stones! So Demani and I are getting comfortable getting around outside of the house. Mathwon returned home late Tuesday night and the rest of the week was a whirlwind from there as he had events in the evenings. Friday I learned the sad news that one of my coworkers from the Toledo site passed away suddenly. This saddened me much - she had held Demani and changed his diaper for me while we were at the work party. I still haven't heard what happened exactly. The funeral is today ( Tuesday) and I decided it was best not to try it with Demani.

On a brighter note, Mathwon's sister and her husband flew in for a visit. We had a great time eating well and playing games. Jason left today but Timo will be in Ohio/Michigan through Christmas.

The Christmas season has been filled with a mix of emotions for sure this year. Our hearts are certainly full with love for our son - that eclipses most of the other emotions! We look forward to a happy, merry Christmas as we celebrate what Christ did for us. May yours be happy and merry too!
