Moments of the Month

December is nearly over and I realize how much I've slacked in keeping this updated.  Sorry.  Here's what you've missed...

Impromptu day trip to Omaha.

Christmas quickly got into full swing when Santa visited the boys' daycare.

Owen turned 3.

The first big snow storm meant a snow day to stay home and play.

Santa came to the Newman house a weekend early.
He brought Owen a balance bike and Griffin a piano.

The Zlomke Christmas celebration had plenty of fun games.

Candle-light service in Texas on Christmas Eve was a
good reminder of the reason for the celebrations.

Christmas morning did not disappoint.

Owen loves bowling... unfortunately.

They were such good travelers considering
the 15 hour road trip each way.

We had a great time hanging out with family and each other.

Miracles

In our small group, part of the homework last week was to list 10 miracles from the week.  It was a great exercise to remember how blessed we truly are.  On the other hand, it was kind of embarrassing that it took me a while to get to number ten.  I guess I need to practice reflecting on the blessings of every day.  So, in an attempt to start practicing, here's a new list of ten of the many miracles from this week.

1. Delivering a baby.
2. Not needing a coat in December in Nebraska.
3. No admissions to the hospital on Saturday.
4. Being pregnant.
5. Coming home to Jason cooking dinner... and it tasted good, too.
6. The Internet.
7. The human eyeball.
8. Driving a car.
9. What you can see with a CT scan.
10. Griffin learning to play peek-a-boo.

It's a miracle.  Everything is a miracle.  Thanks for entertaining me and helping me to be more grateful for every day.
