Christmas Celebrations!

Christmas is almost here! We celebrated Christmas with Gabe and family last weekend as they were in town and it was easiest for all concerned. The boys are so much fun. Next week we will be hitting the slopes to ski in Colorado. Our oldest grandson who is 7 is going with us and will ski/snowboard for the very first time. I am excited about seeing his face when he actually goes down a mountain and enjoys the exhiliration of that activity. We have enjoyed skiing for many years and hope to take the younger grandsons soon.
A girlfriend of mine has just become a grandmother for the very first time and I am excited for her. It is a rewarding time in our lives.
As I reflect on this time of year I yearn to hear from my birthson. I have emailed him several times throughout the year but never get an answer. It is frustrating and I have thought many times about giving up. But my prayer is that some day he will want to know me and my family and enjoy visiting with us.
God has blessed me with a happy and healthy family and I am thankful for what I have.
