Twas' the week before Christmas

Usually all that is left the week before Christmas is shopping. But now that Micah is here we have so many traditions that I want to start and so little time. Keep an eye on this weeks notes because we are going to be busy. We have special people coming to visit and special things that Micah is going to do...whether he remembers them or not! We are so thankful that we live in a country where our child can freely learn about Jesus. We are thankful that we can share traditions with him but we want to also keep perspective on what is really important. There will be plenty of pictures for him to see. When and if we have a second child there will be no way to take as many pictures of him or her. Most importantly I am looking forward to doing things that will ensure Micah knows the real reason for Christmas, and in doing so will remind and renew Mick and I's reason to celebrate the birth of Jesus!
