These past few weeks have been filled with craziness.  We just got back from the States, and a few days later we took off for Rome.  Yesterday was filled with appointments; today is filled with parties and a Christmas Eve service.  While things are not the same with Brian gone, I am very glad to have friends who have extended extra love and care. We will be spending tomorrow with them.  Kennedy and I will open presents at the house tomorrow morning, and I will be sure to take video for everyone to see (especially Daddy).  Off to wrap presents for the party today, but I wanted to say MERRY CHRISTMAS!
