We have an agreement – no Christmas music until the day after THANKSGIVING (oops – originally I typed Christmas! lol). So, today’s video is for him – “Nat King Cole – The Christmas Song”.
Enjoy!
Thanks to Becca, I found this fun blog, tinylittledivision. Today someone there posted this cartoon which made me snort in my coffee! This is not my family – but I’ve known a few like this! 😉

- I am thankful for J3 – He has taught me to smile through the pain.

…but I’ve taken down the crib. There is nothing sadder than an empty crib. I’ve boxed up the blankets. Shoved the early gifts from well-intended family members into drawers. If the boys ask I have the convenient excuse that Grammy needs to borrow the crib – Bless You Grammy!
I don’t know anything new. I haven’t heard from anyone in at least two weeks. I pray Princess is still safely in the same foster family – but I don’t even know that for sure.
Psalm 73:26
My flesh and my heart faileth: [but] God [is] the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.

Lorri has awarded me the Spirit of Christmas award!
This award is for those who talk about and show the spirit of Christmas in their blogs.
What is the Spirit of Christmas you ask?
Quite simply it is those that have a generous and giving nature. Those who care about others. Those who have a kind word to say or a broad shoulder to lean on in the times that others need that. Those who display the “Spirit of Christmasâ€.
I am giving it to five and you should too. Those that have touched your heart with their kind and giving and caring nature.
This seems very timely for me as I’ve just been overwhelmed with an outpouring of love and good will. I’m awarding
