Let's see now. We have watched a number of Christmas movies, although we have a couple more in our collection that we still need to check out. We have cleaned the showers, because all of the kids and grandkids will be home for Christmas. We are pretty excited about that.
We went to the annual Christmas play at Rolling Hills Community Church (RHCC). That has become a tradition. Mom, who just turned 94, has everything she could want, so for several years, Jill and I have taken her to some kind of Christmas play or pageant or concert. Her favorites seem to be the RHCC plays, which are done quite professionally.
Jill and I joined the rest of our Bible study group for a benefit concert put on by a group called The Trail Band for the benefit of Friends of the Children. Friends of the Children provides long term mentors for disadvantaged kids. The friends help with homework, hang out with the kids, take them to events and stay with them from kindergarten through high school. The main idea is for the friend to be a reliable adult in the kid's life, something many of these kids don't have otherwise. The concert was a lot of fun and the cause is a worthy one. We plan to attend again next year.
We anticipate, with great joy, the arrival of our kids beginning tomorrow. We expect Tim and Laura and Josiah and Judah to arrive from San Diego tomorrow evening. Tuesday evening, Tara will arrive late from Denver. We are not sure yet about Patrick and Katie. They are either arriving Tuesday or Wednesday from Monmouth.
In addition to the kids, Jill's brother, Bob, and his wife, Sandi, and daughter Tess will be with us on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. They are driving up from Walnut Creek, CA. So, we will have a houseful, and we couldn't be more excited.
We haven't seen Judah, except for photos, since he was two weeks old. That was in Early September, so we anticipate huge changes. In the meantime, here is a photo of the grandsons. Josiah is 4 and Judah is 4 months.
