It's almost Christmas!

Whew! We arrived home safely from Arkansas. There were many moments this morning when we questioned if we would even make it out of Little Rock, as the city was flooded and parts of I-30 were completely closed down! After driving down some questionable back roads and eating McDonald's more times in one day than I care to count, we pulled into FBC Austell just in time for David to walk into church and lead our Christmas Eve service without a minute to spare. Amazing! Thank you, Lord, for another safe trip home. We had a wonderful time with Papa and Gigi, Cory and Juie, and Aunt Karen and were so sad to leave this morning. Thank you for being wonderful hosts to our party of five. David and I are especially thankful for our many dates! What a treat! Tonight, as I type, Tilly is already down for the count, Carter and Summer are playing so sweetly together, and David (text just came in) picked up the newest member of our family, Hundley. You can see a previous post about him here. The video and camera battery are charged and ready for his debut in the morning! It's almost Christmas! We are so excited. Even more exciting than welcoming Hundley into our family is celebrating the birth of the One who quietly made His debut so many years ago so that we might live! Happy Birthday, Jesus! It's almost Christmas!
