Christmas is Fast Approaching!

Wow! Only two weeks to go and I still have so much shopping to get done! Emberlyn and I have been racing all around town the last two weeks. And it seems Emberlyn's gifts keep growing and growing. She has been quite a distraction, as I'm buying everything for her! Who knew shopping for your baby's first Christmas was so much fun! Well, shopping for Emberlyn is complete until I see the coolest new toy, or the cutest new got-to-have ensemble. My goal is to be finished with everyone by this weekend! Then, we are off to Illinois late next week to spend the holiday with my grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins, some that I haven't see in years! I haven't been to Illinois in over eight years, so it's going to be quite amazing to bring my new little girl with me! She is becoming quite the traveler! Combined with the drive from Virginia to Texas, she'll be in over eleven states before she's three months old!! We'll be missing Wade terribly over the holidays, but I'm greatly anticipating opening up my Christmas present from him that is sitting under the tree as we speak! Unfortunately, he's been staring at our Christmas gift for the last three weeks! Talk about good self-discipline! Good luck to all of you still scrambling around and we wish you a warm and joyful Christmas!
