Christmas...
...Is 4 days away. By this time on Christmas day I will be sitting in an airport. While I am not look forward to that, I am looking forward to a vacation. Getting away from the hustle and bustle of Nashville for a while. I will upload lots of pics when I get back. I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Christmas
I must admit that I have been complaining about Christmas. I never really get much in comparison to others. Everyone I know gets ALL this stuff from their parents, in-laws, step-parents, spouses, grandparents, siblings, etc. Me...I get a few things, but not a lot. I have come to the realization that I have been jealous.
Jealousy is not a good thing. Normally, I am not a jealous person at all. I don't know why I have been about this.
Christmas is not even about presents. It is about Jesus and family.
So...no more of the feeling bad about my lack of gifts in comparison to others. In the grand scheme of things...none of it matters.

My Oldest
Nicholas (that is him down there in the belly) was born January 7th.
And he had to come during the worst snowstorm we had seen in a century!
He is a sweet boy...always has been. When he was little, just a baby little, he would laugh every time I would...even in his sleep. He has made me crack up since he was born. He was a beautiful baby. (too bad I don't have any of those on my computer) He would be an auctioneer (too many auctions with papaw). He would tell Hannah that she was getting on his "Nerds". He called his great-grandfather a "nidiot". He never liked coloring much. He LOVED cap guns. He called himself "Ni-Nick". This is one boy who has never lacked in the love depatrment. He is very well loved by many people.
Nick was diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome when he was 22 months old. That was one of the scariest things EVER! He swelled up like a little blimp. (I need to scan more pics) He was in the hospital twice. The first time, he was at Vanderbilt. His daddy was in FL for training. His memaw was FLIPPING out. The second time Nick was in the hospital for his nephrotic syndrome was almost exactly 1 year later. His last relapse was about 9 years ago now.
Nicholas lives in Hawaii right now. Boy do I miss him. I am glad that this is an experience he got to have.
Nick, my boy, I love you, and I miss you, and I can not wait until you get back home. You make me proud...and always remember, no matter what, I will always love you. I thank God every day that he is given me you.
