Merry Christmas!

It is finally here! The days have been long and hard here at Eusebia, but the Lord is pointing us back in the right direction, and it is sweet. Immanuel, God with us. We learned today about that promise, both in the Old and New Testaments (and you can find the Christmas on nearly every page if you look hard). We look forward to worshiping together as a growing family, and enjoying the gifts that come with the celebration.

We will be going to Atlanta on the 27th, Gainesville on the 29th, and Disney World/Orlando 30th-2nd. I'm sure there will be photos to come of Hoglet's first, and certainly not last, Disney experience.

If you get a chance, check out the link to the Stephens family blog I just placed. My good friend Charley, initially met during my multiple Berry College excursions back in the 90's, now dwelling in Chattanooga with his burgeoning clan of Reformers, and his wife Laura keep a hilarious journal of the trials and joys of Christian parenthood. Check out all the links on the left for the full story.

Try the newest health craze

It's called a bonk, and its good for your health. Basically, it goes like this.

Never let your parents know that you have the capability to pull up, so that they think you might be a little behind in your motor skills. Then, secretly, pull up in your crib (whose mattress is set at the high level, b/c, hey, the kid can't pull up, right?), and then tumble over the rail onto the floor below. Cry a little, and then go on with the rest of your day, crawling on hands and knees, pulling to sit, pulling to stand, etc. Its a marvelous way to keep your parents on their toes (and quickly lowering the mattress).

Ah, a fun way to start the day Sunday!
