Well here it is just past the middle of December and I find that I haven't posted in over three weeks...... again! There just seems to be so much going on in our busy lives these days that we so easily get caught up in it. Lord knows the economy is a mess and now is truly not a great time to be in the business of finance. Couple that times two and sometimes you get a household that is honestly exhausted, (mentally) when they get home at night! Even though we try very hard to keep our business lives separate, sometimes it is hard not to let things spill over when you are dealing with so many variables like we are right now. With all of that aside, the one thing that remains a positive and a constant source of joy and appreciation in our lives is MEREDITH!!
She is doing great! She is a running, laughing, cheerful bundle of energy that starts and ends each day with a hug and a smile. We are so blessed to have her in our lives and can't imagine life without her.
I am working on our Christmas cards, (at the rate I am going they may be "New Year's cards"). So please do not feel slighted if you haven't received one yet. I am yearning for home-baked goods, but doubt anything much will come from my kitchen this year, and my Mom is moving to Oregon, so count her out.....Hmmmm. Amazing where all of the time goes!!
The picture was taken last weekend at a potluck we attended for all of the China adopted children in our valley - -aren't they all beautiful? It was wonderful getting together with all of the great families and their children.
I hope you all are doing well and are taking time to enjoy the season.
Blessings to all of you!

Good to read what is going on in your life! Sorry things are so chaotic and stressful for you guys right now. Hope the new year brings peace and joy! Meredith is so adorable! What a CUTE bunch of kids! :) Our Christmas cards are definitely turning into New Year's cards! Take care and Merry Christmas to Eric & give Meredith a big hug from me.
Great picture, thanks so much and I am sure with a little one this year it will be a great Christmas for you..it is such a joy around the little ones especially now...I know you are all so busy with so much going on at work and home...Mary Ellen sent me the pictures of Meredith taken at Thanksgiving time and I loved each and everyone of them...the one of Meredith and you, Margo, is a perfect picture..such a special Mother and Daughter. Love to you all Margo, Eric and Meredith and a very Merry Christmas.

My how we can relate to your hectic lives although work probably not as stressful. Rich's work is making cut backs but some how he is hanging on. My work is pretty stable being in the healthcare field but even our office is financially tight. But how right you are when you say how wonderful it is coming home to that wonderful child! Jenni reins it all in for us and we just can't wait to come home and see her. Have a Merry Christmas!
