Merry Christmas

Good Morning,

Nine days before Christmas. How is that possible? So much has taken place this year, yet it seems like it flew by.

Thursday morning we head for Kansas City to pick up Keegan at the bus station. Poor thing has to get on the bus in St. Louis at 5 AM. We will be picking her up around 10 AM. She will be traveling with a friend from Wash U that lives in Kansas City. I don't imagine they will be talking much, probably sleeping on their bus trip. She will be home for 3 1/2 weeks this time.

It will be nice to have Keegan home for Christmas and the New Year. This week she has her final exams, so I know she will be glad when that is finished. Although I'm sure she will be missing her new friends and ready to get back to college and her TempurPedic bed by the time her winter break is over!

Dawson is so ready for his winter break and counting the days down. He also has his final exams this week. His school used to not make them take finals if they got mostly A's. Now they have changed the rules and all kids need to take final exams. Naturally he didn't think that was too cool!

We really don't have anything special planned for the holidays. Both David and I will be working. David has been getting a nice amount of overtime. A few days last week he worked 12 hr shifts. Home Depot has also been giving me plenty of hours. I'm afraid that will change in January.

Hopefully today Uncle Orville and Aunt Gretchen will be arriving in Wichita before they continue on their way to Arizona. They were supposed to be here yesterday, but they have come across some rain and fog. I hope the weather will be better for them today.

No more news for now. I will blog again after the holidays. Please be safe and stay healthy.

I know you are all praying for the families in Connecticut. I can't even comprehend what they are going through. I remember so clearly Keegan and Dawson at that young age. My heart is so filled with sadness.

I pray you will all invite God to be with you and your loved ones during this Christmas season. He wants to be in the very center of your life.

May God bless you and have a very Merry Christmas.

Love,
Marjie
