Perhaps redundant

1. I just posted this on my photo blog- but I'll post it here too. This has been my favorite Christmas song since I first heard it 4 or 5 years ago:

I love the, "Why (I would say How) in all this anger do you fill me up with love?" I love that that is the central point of the song. God's love, even in a world where it seems so impossible. Never thought I'd say Dave Mathews was "inspired" but man- that's what its all about if you ask me!

2. Goodnight moments. Jake and I often argue who has to put which kid to bed, it's often Josh just because he can get out of bed and fight us on the whole process a little more- but the last few nights I've really tried to stop and enjoy bed time with Josh. Once I get him tucked in I lay on his bed and we just talk, sing and give each other face tickles. I love it because Josh will just ramble on through all of his thoughts and its a nice time to just listen to what's happening in that little mind of his. He really is a smart and thoughtful little kid.

3. Christmas cards. Got the bulk of mine out- and I've started getting some in the mail. I love getting all the cards, poems, letters and updates. I look forward to the mail every day now in hopes of getting more.
