It's Christmas! And as I wait for the dryer to stop running, I thought I would post a quick blog.
Three things.
1. We made a birthday cake for Jesus .... and it's still sitting on the kitchen counter, uncut, uneaten. Why? Because we went to a fellow "family-less" friend's for lunch...and had Baked Alaska birthday cake instead!
2. The kids had a wonderful Christmas. I heard, "Just what I always wanted!" three times, all from Hannah. :) Apparantly, a "Hello Kitty" toothbrush, a miniature doctor's coat (made by Grandma,) and a doctor's - excuse me - ANIMAL doctor's kit, all fit the bill. :) Isaac was thrilled with his matchbox cars and Thomas toothbrush (why, oh, why did I show him it played music.) And I got my GPS system! :) Chris got socks...well, he needed them, had asked for them, and I had given all my other good ideas to his mom. :) He'll get something else when I figure out what it is! :)
3. I was disappointed with our Christmas service at church. No hymns, a strange play about "Christmas Town," and a churchwide "snowball" fight. ("Mom, these aren't real snowballs! They're just balls!") Yep, three things I didn't like about it. We'll try the Lutheran Church next year!

Three Things Thursday
I've been a bad blogger...I've been gone too long! I need to catch up on some posts (I'm sneaky and I just change the date to make it look like I stay on top of things!). But a friend did this in her blog, so I thought I would copy it. :) And as usual, I'm only 2 days late. :)
1. I'm glad to be home. Yes, Texas is starting to feel like home. It was great to be in Iowa for 3 weeks but I could start to tell the difference in my kids. I'm not kidding when on the plane I said to Hannah, "Listen to me. You need to remember that in Texas you listen to Mommy and you obey her...the first time!" *rolling eyes* Yes, 3 weeks of spoiling from aunts, uncles, and grandparents is just a little too much.
2. I have a new beautiful nephew. Noah Daniel Van Gorp is an adorable little boy and I'm so glad that he's here, healthy, and happy. And I love seeing my sister and her husband being parents. Angie is so calm and collected, and Jason is so protective and cuddly. Such a blessing for their new little one.
3. I finally finished a book that I have been reading for more than 3 months. Possibly longer. :) Now, I've read probably 10-15 other books during this time...but that book just sat in my work bag and taunted me! So after a slow day at the clinic and some time this morning (my first Saturday in Texas that I didn't work since the beginning of August!), the book is done! Finished and in the box to go to Half Priced Books!
I'll see if I can keep this up every Thursday...probably not though right! :)
