Thank you all so much for your prayers and encouragement! I haven't had too much time to blog lately. I did get out for a nice little walk with the dogs this evening and took this instagram photo. I've been busy watching my boy play soccer.
Their team finished second in a very competitive month long tournament.
And my boy (center) was named to the All Tournament team.
In Christmas news, I ordered my Christmas cards back on Thanksgiving and have mailed some international cards, but haven't even started addressing my domestic ones. And this will be the year where I did 90% of my Christmas shopping standing at the gift card kiosk at the grocery store! On the upside, I did package them all up and mail them to Southern California in time for them to get to our families. I still have to wrap the presents that I'll be distributing here. Maybe tomorrow. I hope you're having a good time as you head into the holidays,
Happy Christmas Rinda. Hope you find the time to get everything done that you need to without 'running yourself ragged'!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Rinda, I am so glad you got out for a walk, it can really clear the cobwebs!
ReplyDeleteSending many best wishes to you all from Down Under - enjoy your time together.
We know you have too many things going on at this time. Don't worry about the small stuff. Just enjoy your family during this holy season. Sending you lots of love from all your family in Houston. Have a Blessed Christmas and a safe New Year. Wishing you Peace, Love and Health.
ReplyDeleteI am sure that everyone understands that you have a lot on your mind this Christmas time and being a proud mum watching your boy playing a game he loves is far more important that writing cards! The important thing about the holidays is being with those you love and enjoying time as a family.
ReplyDeleteHappy Christmas!
Congratulations to your boy. Well done !!! yes merry Xmas to you all and all the best for next year. may all your health wishes come true. xxx

Thinking of you!!!

That's such an achievement and well done to him! And to you too, for managing all that you have to right now. Thinking of you and hoping for warm, restful and restorative moments for you ...
ReplyDeleteWell done Henry - he must be quite some player and team mate to keep getting these kind of awards!!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Rinda - I hope you don't get too overwhelmed by Xmas prep - it's really NOT important in the grand scheme of things. Spending quality time with Paul and the kids is. I hope that 2013 brings you better and better news and that this time next year ALL troubles will be faint memories.

Hello Rinda, Haven't had time to blog or read blogs but I did want to check yours before Christmas. May the Lord bless your family and grant you the strength and strong shoulders to bear up under all that you and Paul are facing. xxx
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Rinda and to all your family. I hope that this Christmas you are able to just spend some quality time with your family and that 2013 is a happy and healthy year for you all. xx
ReplyDeleteHave a Merry Christmas, Rinda. I have high hopes for 2013 so am looking forward to the New Year. Wishing you joy and happiness in the New Year.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Henry! I'm hoping that you had time to rest and recharge over the festive season - been thinking of you all.
