The family. We are a strange little band of characters trudging through life, sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that binds us all together.

God Comes Through Again

I never can seem to remember that God will provide. Because of this, I was truly surprised when a check came in today. We thought for sure that we'd have to explain to the kids why Santa hadn't been able to get gifts to us this year. But Christmas is saved!

Of course, that meant that Mommy was out shopping on the day before Christmas...what a nightmare. There were some pretty good deals on Christmas stuff, but not as many choices in the toy department. Lucky for us, Santa usually brings all the cool stuff for Christmas.

Maybe next year the boys will be ready for homemade presents...or not. They sure enjoy opening their packages.
