Advent

What a most enjoyable day we had with family. We took lots and lots of pictures. All of my siblings and their spouses are here for this weekend. Pretty incredible, I think. After all of that activity I just couldn't keep my eyes open and I had a late afternoon nap. I've had another good day - no nausea or vomiting! Time for me to build up some strength and try to put on some weight again.
My house looks like Christmas already. I have a Christmas tree up (good choice, E and A. Thanks so much!) and there is a garland of lights around the fireplace,too. Christmas music is playing in the CD player. It's just plain cozy and "gezellig." And tomorrow begins Advent, a time of waiting and eager anticipation. Come, Lord Jesus, come quickly!

Warm hugs to you,
Sandra

  1. Dear Aunt Sandra,
    Glad to hear that you had a great day! And a "good" day too! It must be a lot of fun to celebrate the season with families. Wish we could be there with you again. Kenneth is out of town since yesterday morning so Jasmine and I had a kind of boring day. But we had a good time watching goats and horses at a little farm close to home. Jasmine also enjoyed playing with the puppy that (Kenneth's) Mom and Dad got for her birthday. The puppy sings and dances, and Jasmine actually picked up some moves from watching it :) It's really funny to see her wiggling her body and bobbing her head with the music. This little girl has a very good sense of rhythms and tones :)
    I'd better stop slacking off work and goofing around on the internet :) Hope you are having another good day today. Thinking of you.
    Love,
    Ai
