Blankets!

Good morning! We are home from our weekly clinic visit. Grant's ANC was up to 1.2 yesterday, so we are breathing a little sigh of relief and are excited to be mask-free for the week.

The highlight of our trip was delivering the blankets that the sweet sisters of the Relief Society of our church had made for the kids. We felt like real life Santa's as we got the joy of passing out the beautiful blankets! Several of the kids wrapped up in their blankets right then and there! Special thanks go to all of our friends from church, led by my "Mama Marla", who gave so lovingly of their time to make this possible.

We also were able to visit with Colby yesterday. It was the first time that we had actually seen Colby since July. He has the shadow of hair growing back, and is doing great! Colby's grandparent's house was burned by an arsonist last month, so please say a special prayer for his family. The arsonist also set fire to the Fire and Rescue building in their home town, so life is more than a little stressful for his family right now.

The rest of the week looks pretty normal. We still have shopping to do! My piano recitals are next week, so I am looking forward to some wonderful performances from my sweet students. We had a great studio class yesterday. Its always so much fun when they're all together! We are also spending lots of time getting the Christmas Program ready for church and planning our family Christmas extravaganza!

Life is good! We are thankful for all of our blessings and our wonderful friends and family!

Yeah ANC!!!

Way to go Grant! Being Santa's little helper and delivering all those blankets to the clinic. It does get cold in there from time to time. We love the blanket that you guys gave Michael. His little brother (Mitchell) sleeps with it and takes it in the car to cover up with when we go on trips. One side had purple monkeys and the other side is green, which is Mitchell's favorite color.

I think about you and praying for you often. May you and the family a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Love in Christ
