Sunday, December 28th
We had some beautiful weather while Grandma and Grandpa were here and we took advantage of it by going to the park. I say we, but actually
I didn't make nearly as many trips to the park (or school playground) as Grandma, bless her heart!
You might remember that Ben had taken up swinging on his stomach this summer. He did that for a while.
And of course someone else watched him and wanted to do it too.
Then he surprised me by asking to sit on the swing... and he didn't get off after one tiny push! He kept asking Grandma for more and more pushes.
She loves to swing, but she's not easy to hold on to.
Grandma Val's parcel finally made it today... not in time for Christmas although it was mailed with plenty of time to spare. We were just about to send out a search party. Even though Christmas was past I wanted to decorate our tree. (Yes, it's a tree made out of sticks. I find that appropriate, don't you?) The manger scene was slightly smushed but all the ornaments survived.
I didn't want to start the new year behind so I've been on a posting frenzy tonight. I'm not going to hold myself to a post for every day of the year in 2009, but I will aim for 4 or 5 posts a week. Thank you for sharing the year with us! See you in 2009! Wishing you all many blessings in the new year.
