Merry Christmas

Bekah Christmas morning 2009. She was trying on a new Steeler's hoodie and a vest.
I think she was still cold in our 75 degree weather.

Wishing everyone a wonderful Christmas Day! Rich, Bekah and I had a great morning. (Although we were missing Zack terribly. We were hoping we would get an email at least today, but we didn't. It has been about 2 months now since we have heard from him. It is very difficult not hearing anything...but we know he is safe and working hard)
In the afternoon, family came over and we enjoyed Christmas dinner together. We were so happy that Craig, Tiffany and Marc and Marc's girlfriend, Kayla joined us from Jacksonville today. As some of you may know, Craig's wife, Tiffany and Marc's (and Richard) mother, passed away on Easter Sunday in a boating accident. I can't truly fathom what they go through on a daily basis, let alone the holidays. We just want to be there for them whenever they need us, to listen, for a hug, to just tell them we love them. Their courage and strength is amazing, reminding us to live our lives to the fullest each and every day as there is no certainty in the future.
A reminder to me to continue to live my life on purpose every single day and to tell those I love... how much.
So with love, I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and all the blessings the season brings.

Peace,
Kim
