Days since our paperwork was given a date stamp at the C*C*A*A* in China.\u00a0 Chugging right along to our LSC….<\/p>\n

We had the chance to watch Samuel see “Santa Claus” for the first time yesterday.\u00a0 I don’t think “Santa” knew\u00a0Samuel was Skyping in the office when he came to retrieve the presents for the preschool party.\u00a0 They had to grab him real quick so he didn’t spin right off the office chair in his eagerness to turn around and see him!\u00a0 LOL<\/p>\n

Needless to say we had a fairly short visit with him this Sunday, but it was so amazing to hear that he was going off to be a Shepherd in the Nativity story that they were putting on.\u00a0 A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. is all I have to say.<\/p>\n

Stephen’s grandma went to be with Jesus this weekend and so we will be participating in the funeral.\u00a0 When asked about our favourite memories of Grandma, Stephen remembered hanging around her house watching game shows with her (he didn’t have a t.v. at his house) and also how he could often score a cookie if he “helped out” in the kitchen while she worked on her baking.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42\u00a0\u00a0 My favourite memory was getting a phone call after we were engaged (at the Bible College – not easy for her to track me down) and asking me to come over for lunch.\u00a0 She taught me to bake buns and she and Grandpa visited with me over lunch.\u00a0 What a wonderful welcome into the family!\u00a0 We all remember her telling the egg story (Stephen as a little boy on the farm)\u00a0at our wedding and playing many games of Mexican Train.\u00a0 Our oldest two kids remember her pouring milk and grape juice out of her glass pitchers and being allowed to sit up at the dining room table and use her pretty China dishes.\u00a0 As Faith put it, “I’m SOOO glad that Great Grandma is with Jesus!”<\/p>\n

It’s good to be with family this Christmas and to know our little man is being taught the most important story of all time.\u00a0 My heart is very full.<\/p>\n

Out of the many, MANY photos taken, this at least shows most\u00a0everyone’s face on Stephen’s side of the family (When you have this many, sometimes that is all you can hope for! ha).\u00a0 With the exception, of course, of grandchild #12.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
