Incredible things come in laundry baskets.

It is hard for me to believe that a person could refuse to acknowledge a creator when faced with the intricacy of the human body. As I stood over Genoa's bed last night watching her sleep, I was captivated by watching her little chest rise and fall and thinking about that tiny set of lungs and that tiny crabapple sized heart. I was reminded of how powerless I am to keep her heart beating through the night, and at the same time I was incredibly moved at the thought of the Father's caring hands that sustain not only her and I, but millions around the world. We are fragile creatures.

Speaking of little hearts, our resident "little heart" is getting bigger by the minute. She has her 3 month (can you believe it!?) doctors appointment on monday, after which I will update you as to just how big she has gotten.

Daniel is currently (as in, at this moment) enjoying his last night of freedom before his 5 day long, kamikaze 'J' term class, which starts tomorrow. He is "reading" the 3 200 page books that he is supposed to have read by 8am tomorrow. This consists of following his finger with his eyes across the page to be sure that his eyes have technically fallen upon every word. They said that he had to read the book, not necessarily comprehend it. Minor technicality.

The enormous piles of snow that currently surround us make me feel like I am driving a ladybug everytime I get into my little Pontiac Vibe. What a joy it is to locate and excavate my car at midnight everynight as I get off of work in the bitter windy cold.

I am finding that in every situation that I voice a complaint against, there is a blessing in disguise. Actually, usually the blessing is not in disguise, usually I am just ignoring it. For example; I hate cleaning off my car but at least I have a car and it runs. I don't like getting off work at midnight, but I have a steady job that pays well.

This is where I will stop at this point, mostly because I have to go to bed at some point. However I will hereby segway into Christmas pictures that are cute.

Happy New Year.
