Fulfilled

Sitting here on Christmas Eve by myself, feeling myself to be quite the rich man - the three big kids are winding down watching a movie, Jill and Jack are getting much-needed rest.

We had a full Christmasy church day here at CHC.

• Potluck brunch
• Huge gift of appreciation from our friends at Chestnut Hill
• Children's Nativity play
• Dramatic reading with my beloved Sunday school students
• Lots of Christmas music
• Christmas sermon on Mary's Magnificat - God has taken notice of His people!
• Special time with Tucker at the nursing home
• Patriots on TV
• Pizza Market for dinner
• Watching the kids each open a gift
• Special candlelight service, complete with sparklers afterwards
• Sitting by the Christmas tree and reading words of appreciation from grateful parishioners
• Enjoying all four children for who they are
• Knowing that the love of my life is always by my side
• Knowing that God has taken notice of me, and has showered His love and grace on my undeserving soul

Merry Christmas to all!

I know many of you have already seen pictures on Jill's blog, but here's the latest and greatest! He's quite a guy; we are so enamored with him.

Still waiting

This time I'm waiting - in New Boston, at home, with Jill and the kids and the midwife, for Baby Dear! Looks like it will be today - nineteen is such a nice prime number.

This part of the process is so strange. Sitting around waiting for a little one to come and change your life forever. So much to do, but most of it I can't do because it entails leaving the house. I could also clean the house, but who wants to do that? So I'll keep on waiting - and updating my blog. My primary customer right now is very understanding, and had just been given a heads up yesterday that I might get The Call anyday.

We'll keep you posted.
