Happy Adventing!

We just returned from our Christmas travels to South Carolina where Rhett is still the lonely grandchild (ahem, Tyler and Jackie)-
And still the STAR of the show...

And still so easy to entertain:

Travel and time in airports are often a part of our holidays since we live so far from grandparents. Right before our trip I was reading this Christmas devotional which C.S. Lewis describes the magnitude of God's incarnation. He likened GOD coming in the form of a baby to save us would be like a human being coming in the form of a shellfish. A shellfish? I can't even imagine! For some reason, that really hit me. And as we 'people watched' the vast array of people that exist in airports between flights, it hit me even harder.."You came as a baby to save all of these people, too? Really?"

But now we are home and I am glad to be, because now I get to enjoy my Christmas gift from Porter.

And I am not the only one:

Looking forward to many trips to the coffee house in this, and the shady Handy Andy grocery store downtown where you may or maynot be mugged buying two-week-old produce and suspiciously sour milk, but it's so worth it because the other grocers in town are just way too crowded or hard to get to by bike. Anyway, you get the idea.

Happy Advent from our family to yours!

And aren't you glad you're not a shellfish!
