Highlights from Christmas

We were blessed to be able to spend over two weeks at my parents' home in Nebraska over Christmas. Edmund was a great traveller and slept in his carseat the whole trip. We'd stop every few hours to nurse and change his diaper, and then be back on the road again. Edmund's now been in six states before he was six weeks old! His geography-loving daddy is quite proud of this. :-)


Because my mom spent the first part of December elsewhere (ahem), she was behind on her Christmas decorating. We all pitched in to get the tree up and decorated, the lights strung outside, and multitudes of Christmas knick-knacks distributed throughout the house.


Edmund with Uncle Nathan and Aunt Chandra

While we were in Nebraska, Edmund was able to meet all his aunts and uncles for the first time.


Edmund's Aunt Louisa is only 12.5 years older than him. She loves to hold him, and Edmund loves to be held, so everybody's happy!


Since I now live a cat-deprived life, I was quite glad to see my cat Basil again. Nothing is quite so cozy in the winter as a furry feline curled up in your lap. :-)

We are thankful to the Lord for the chance to spend so much time with our far-away families! Next visit, sometime this summer...?

Thanks, Louisa! Actually, Douglas took all the photos in that post -- I guess I was too busy with other things to take many pictures myself over Christmas! :-)
