We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
We have a lot to be thankful for this Christmas. As we hoped, Sam was able to attend Christmas Eve Service and visit with friends he had not seen in quite some time. It felt like old times sitting in the pew together... that's one of the things that was hard for me (Maddy) going to church without Sam. I told you all the ladies love Sam ;)

Today, Christmas Day, we visited with our friends Julia (who comes from Moldova) and Adam (who is from Ethopia) with their new baby (Daniel) and Julia's sister Tanya who has been visiting from Moldova (a small country near Romania for those of you who may be unfamiliar with that part of the globe). Julia and Maddy met when she worked at Maddy's office as the receptionist and we all became great friends. We think of them as family and always enjoy seeing them.

We also spent a few hours at Maddy's parents' home. The food was great and Sam experimented to see what foods he could swallow. He was surprised that he could eat ham but not breaded smelts. We new he could eat pasta, meatballs and kielbasa - that's pretty much a holiday staple at Maddy's parents house - but Sam had problems with the apricot roll and some of the other holiday deserts -- but, it's progress and we'll take it.
While we didn't get to spend this holiday with our children, we feel blessed and have nothing but joy in our hearts this Christmas. We wish you the same.
