Christmas Blessings

Well, the unwrapping is over, but the fun has just begun. Shawn has this week off work, so we are enjoying our new Christmas presents and being together as a family. We have this one last week of the year to relax, with absolutely no appointments and nowhere we have to be before the crazy new year starts. January will be a month where Clare once again sees every one of her doctors. So we'll back to our busy schedule. I am going to cherish this week!

We are so blessed during this Christmas season for many, many reasons, but, most importantly, because we are together as a family and Clare is doing so well right now. She didn't have a clue what was going on Christmas morning, but she loved "helping" to unwrap presents and loved eating the wrapping paper even more. She enjoyed watching the excited antics of Jamie because he truly understood about Santa Claus this year!

During the remainder of this Christmas season (which we celebrate in our house until January 6, the Feast of the Epiphany, when the wise men came to visit Jesus, and Shawn's birthday - who likes to remind me again and again that he was born on the Feast of Kings), we wish everyone good cheer in the New Year! We also keep in prayer our fellow WS and "heart" families whose children remain sick or hospitalized and those who have lost their children this past year.

What beautiful photos! Clare is just wonderful, as is her BIG brother! Enjoy this week, and relax a little (remember that??)! Peace and joy in the New Year, and keep us posted (as time permits).
