7 weeks till baby boy four. 

3 special kids' hot chocolates at bookstore today, while browsing books together. 

1 delightful surprise Christmas date yesterday, seeing the Nutcracker and having a very adult cuisine lunch. 

1 I love him so much husband who took me on date. 

2 parents visiting and joyfully celebrating with us. 

Countless family and friends we miss. 

1 dog we still own, and sometimes I can't believe it.  But we love him. And I am thankful he is so easy. 

6 windows in baby's room finally have rods and curtains ready for him to sleep in darkened delight. 

1 baby boy's nursery slowly being decorated with bright bold colors. 

1 baby boy whose name means bold and brave. 

12 cinnamon rolls rising and ready to bake in the morning. 

7 breakfast burritos wrapped and ready to eat in the morning. 

3 sleepy excited boys tucked snug in their room. 

2 parents.  peaceful in the glow of the lights.  

1 Savior.  Waiting.  Coming.  

All is calm.  

Merry Christmas.
