Tickets....

I know a few of you have been wondering what our final plans are. Well we lucked out and are leaving on the 17th, returning on the 24th - - The best Christmas Eve ever! Dreyden will be home for his first Christmas! As much as we hoped this would happen, we hadn't expected it.

But as much as I am elated that we were so blessed, I can't help but feel a little sad for those babies that are not going to be with their families this Christmas. And for the families that so much wanted to have their babies home for the Holidays. I know that everything happens in time and for a reason, but I can't help think about those other families. (I speak from experience as we had to wait through the holidays for Ahlyana).

For those that are reading (I know many of you are)....... Please know that I plan on taking pictures of each of your little ones. God willing there won't be any camera issues!!!! Always been a big fear of mine.

As for Ahlyana, she is getting more exited every day. Last night we put up the crib in our bedroom. Ahlyana would have nothing to do with the fact that it was being put up in our room. I want Dreyden in my room, she said. As much as I tried to rationalize with her, she wouldn't hear of it. Finally I said that he will probably be up in the middle of the night and wake her up. She said "that's OK Mommy, I'll just sing to him". Isn't that the sweetest thing ever. Then after I said well what would you sing, she said "Jingle Bells" Tis the season, I guess.

Have a great day everyone!
