Merry Christmas!

Wow, another Christmas has rolled around. Right off the bat I can say that this Christmas is definitely better than the last. This time last year I was asleep getting ready to head to the airport for an early morning flight to head back to Jamaica after a five day stay with J in Louisiana. He was going to drop me to the airport then head to work for a 12-hour shift. And two days ago we had just found out that I was pregnant. We didn't know when next we'd be able to see each other again, and we certainly didn't know if and when I would be able to migrate.

Thankfully, this year is a lot different. We're here in our new home. The Munchkin is sleeping sweetly in her room. Her Dad is having a ball playing Star Wars: Republic Commando, a gift from our neighbours. And her Mom is being a kid again and avidly watching Santa's progress at NoradTracksSanta.com. We've got cards, we've got presents under the tree, we've got a poinsettia and holly bed-in-a-bag and we've got my Mom's Christmas punch, but most important, we've got each other all together for our first Christmas as a family.

Here's wishing you all a Merry Christmas and the happiest and most blessed of New Years, from our family, to yours.
