Snow!


There might not be snow in Africa this Christmastime, but there IS snow in Maryland for Christmas Eve! Owen proclaimed it to be a Christmas miracle.

Have you actually ever thought about the lyrics of that Band Aid song? They are sort of bizarre when you get right down to it:

But say a prayer,
Pray for the other ones.
At Christmas time, it's hard but when you're having fun.
There's a world outside your window
And it's a world of dread and fear
Where the only water flowing is the bitter sting of tears
And the Christmas bells that ring there
Are the clanging chimes of doom.
Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you.

We have had a great couple of days at parties with friends. Tomorrow it's off to Grandmom and Pop's for Henneberry chaos and then a visit to the McCarter farm a few days later. Can't wait!

Merry Christmas!

Another Day Has Come

We have reached yet another milestone in the ClanMcCarter household. It is a Sunday morning at 10:10 AM and one of my children (I suspect it is Evan) has just woken up. This is not out of the ordinary nor miraculous, but the fact that he headed directly to the bathroom and turned on the shower and got into it without a single reminder is truly one of those indescribable Christmas miracles.
Wow!
