Christmas Eve-The Family

So, Wayne and I will be traveling to Tennessee for a bit to see our families. I'm sure there's going to be lots of hugs knowing that there's going to be a new addition in 8 months. This Christmas will be a pivotal point in my life; not only have Wayne and I shared 10+ Christmas' together, but from now on, there will be a little person that we'll be sharing Christmas with as well. The very sound of that is strange to me.....I guess that I always assumed it would always be our friends' children and our nieces and nephews?


Ohhhh, that's all about to change! I am grateful that my nephew, Bishop, is only going to be a short trip older; I hope they are the best of friends (even if it's a girl). A few nights ago, there was a commercial on TV, and it showed a little boy skipping rocks on the water. I rolled over in bed and giggled, "You're going to be able to teach our baby to skip rocks, honey. You are the "master" at skipping rocks." (and Wayne REALLY is awesome at it)!!!! "Well what if it's a girl; she's not going to want to learn how to skip rocks!", he said.


AND, trust me, regardless, boy or girl, if Wayne could teach me to love nature as much as I do, our child is going to be a "lost child", constantly wanting to go to Uncle Dave & Aunt Camille's (they live on the Flint and are VERY dear friends) to play in the river! I loved that Camille called me and stated, "I can just see that lil kayak coming down the river now!" I cried listening to that voicemail.....because it's true, and because THAT will be beautiful!


I hope everyone out there gets what they wished for on Christmas~Happy Holidays & be safe!!!
