Goosebumps and Justice (advent reflections)
If you haven’t had a chance to – I’d highly recommend taking 40 min and listening to our advent reflections from the podcast last week.
Perhaps pull it up on your computer/Hi-Fi/iPods and listen as a family around the fire tonight or tomorrow evening.
Enjoy the thoughts, reflections and music and remember what this season of [...]

The Christmas fun begins
This weekend we got a head start on our Christmas festivities (besides the 3 or 4 office parties/lunches I’ve already been to) with two family parties.
Saturday night was the annual Turner-Medlin Christmas party – which I think has now become the Turner-Medlin-Blundell-Lattanzi party.

Songs of Christmas
Over the years my favorite Christmas songs have changed from year to year.
I remember singing a number of songs growing up, including Come on Ring those Bells, Silent Night, Rudolph, etc. etc. But over the last few years, I think I’ve settled in on my all time favorite.
O Holy Night.

How would you respond?
Laurie and I are getting excited as our expectancy grows, just counting down the days till we hope to have our foster-parent certification, followed by more waiting till we get the call that we have a foster child waiting for us.
Over the Thanksgiving break we did a little shopping and purchased a brand new crib/toddler [...]
