Road Trip!

If someone would have told me that I would be attempting a very long road trip with a 1 1/2 week old baby a little while ago, I would have told them they were nuts! BUT lo and behold...tomorrow we are venturing out to cold, cold IN. We are going to make the trip in 2 days, hopefully making it to Nashville, TN to stay with our wonderful friends, Jordan and Bethany Roe tomorrow night, and then heading to Evansville on Christmas Eve morning. Please say a prayer for SAFE travels, HEALTHY baby, PROTECTION from germs and the cold, SLEEPY baby and a WIDE AWAKE Daddy who will be manning the vehicle full of precious cargo. I'm nervous about the trip, but the pediatrician has given us the okay. We were advised to not play "pass the baby" at family gatherings, but at least everyone will get to see him. Our younger siblings have yet to meet Graham so that will be special. It's such a sweet time to have a baby and to think about the real meaning of Christmas. I'm so glad I'm not Mary and I didn't have to ride a donkey in my last weeks of pregnancy. And I'm worried about DRIVING! I'm very excited to celebrate the birth of Christ this year, as it is an extra sweet year for our family. I wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas!!!
