Family

This week has been very busy. Nate's parents flew in for a visit on Monday and then left early this morning. We had a great time with them and I need to write a post on that with some of the pictures we took. 

This weekend we'll spend time with my family and I'm honestly not sure what to expect. You're probably wondering why in the world I said that, but my brother and his wife are expecting their first child. Her due date is December 26. Right now we're just waiting for her to go into labor. So, while we're planning to spend Christmas day together, we all understand that plans may change at any moment! 

On top of that, my grandma (mom's mom) was hospitalized earlier this week. This morning she needed surgery, which was unexpected and we were told she had a 50/50 chance of coming through the surgery. She came out of surgery fine and is recovering very well. But this morning things were very uncertain. You can continue to keep my grandma in your prayers. I know we'd all appreciate it.

On a completely different note, a little daughter of mine has been rearranging and adding to our nativity. I like the giant sheep that has become part of it! When I first saw it I chuckled because I saw the small sheep on the roof but didn't see the donkey anywhere. Then I noticed the donkey on the roof as well. Maybe I need to get my eyes checked. I've stopped rearranging the nativity back to the way I had it and would rather Sanaa spend time with it so that we can talk about the real reason for this Christmas season.
