it's beginning to feel alot like christmas... finally

On Saturday the high was over 70 degrees. Tomorrow the high is supposed to be 48. My sinuses are rebelling against the huge swing in climate and I am sick. It seems like this happens every year about this time and I spend Christmas day saying things like, "I'd love to hug you, but I'm germy". Just what folks love to hear. Of course, I'm happy to know that Christmas will actually be cold, or at least what passes for cold around here.

We're still gathering papers for our dossier. With the holiday looming it's more difficult than usual to get timely responses from government offices. I'm doing my best to be ok with the delays.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for all of the kind words and congratulations. We are WAY excited about the referral and look forward to sharing the journey with you.

Special congratulations to our pals Pete and Beth who welcomed their son Jack into the world this morning. You guys are amazing people and will be even more amazing parents. Love to you both, and kisses to the little guy!
