(If you know the remedy to that pass it on.) We are heading to New Orleans for the holidays. Will be picking up L from his finals at UT and heading south/east.

I love the sounds and sights of Christmas and especially through the eyes of my dgts. My kids insist we have a tree and put lights outside and in.

I'm enjoying the antics of our grandson (walking now), but by Skype only. Still, it's a joy to watch his wide-eyed wonder.<br /><br />Like you, we do oranges and nuts our stockings--plus bananas.

You are so right about those giggles filling in our empty spaces. Really, I LOVE that. <br /><br />I read your anecdotes with Benjamin, and I couldn't help but think of another mother who had a child at a rather "unexpected" age. <br /><br />If I'm not mistaken, that little fellow's name meant "he laughs", right?Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05671482394424988047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-292398111323195424.post-23577874073113278432012-12-04T18:19:05.955-08:002012-12-04T18:19:05.955-08:00Love that boy!
