Adam and I are new parents...despite what it may seem we love our son Daniel, but lately he has been quite a handful. This image was taken while we were trying to get a casual family photo however Daniel was not in the mood that evening and we were not so successful in getting him to sit still....
Anyway I realized I hadn't blogged in a while....has that become a useable verb now? Blogging? Weird, sometimes I really do wonder if we're headed for a 1984 generation. I've been caught up working more and now the holiday season is hitting and I really want to savor it this year and go to all the little "events" around town. Plus Daniel is able to be fascinated by lights and colors and music so I'm anxious to expose him to Christmas culture.
Speaking of Christmas, I was browsing through Target only a day after Halloween and they had already begun displaying their Christmas inventory. I became so excited looking at all the decorations and party hosting supplies. It was like a sugar rush and once I realized how much it would cost to do up a party with all of that stuff I crashed into disappointment knowing it wasn't something we could afford. It was not until a few days ago that I was humiliated by the biblical truth behind Christmas and actually desiring to celebrate Advent and the Nativity in place of the all the holly and the ivey. Plus you rarely come across a tasteful nativity scene so I wanted to think up a really unique display for our little apartment. Any suggestions are welcome...
