oh, christmas.

i haven't even begun 

looking at our christmas photos yet.

but i will soon.

and i of course 

will share them on my little blog

for you all to see the insanity 

which was our christmas this year.

but for now, 

here is our annual photo in front of the tree

(i try to print these out 

and put them as ornaments 

on our tree but i fear 

i am a couple of years behind

in doing that).  

He tends his flock like a shepherd: 
   He gathers the lambs in his arms 
and carries them close to his heart; 
   he gently leads those that have young.

Isaiah 40:11
