My poor lilacs, they have put out green leaves. Who can blame them, what a treat it would be if they bloomed. However, Jack Frost, and Old Man Winter will soon have other plans. This weekend we went to a live nativity display and the weather was most enjoyable.
Have you ever been to Pratt, KS to see the Lemon Park Lights? If not, you are missing out. The display started out small and has since grown. If you are passing through Pratt this Christmas season, make your way south down Main Street and follow the signs to the park. There is a grove of lighted trees, a section of snowmen, a sea dragon and wild west show just to name a few. Enjoy a no admission fee and cars can make as many trips around the park as desired. Perhaps a drive is not good enough, park your car and take the walking trail through the park and enjoy the lights up close. Our family enjoyed a stroll through the park, and I am ready to walk through it again next week.
One field of cotton has been stripped, however we won’t know the results of the yield until later. We have one more field that needs picked.
This was an exciting week for us. Behold for unto us a cousin is born, lying in a pack-n-play near Moundridge we found the babe swaddled in his mother’s arms. Kalib Calvin joined our family last Tuesday. His mother went to the doctor and was asked, “Well are you ready to have this baby today?” So, she quickly rounded up her things, and made it back to the hospital. The baby came the next day. He was welcomed by his big brother Lane. Addie had a basketball game at Halstead, so we slipped over and held the new baby. Of course, he was very cute and handled all of us holding him. I just hope he wasn’t a mess when we left. New babies can get over stimulated when too many people hold them.
I printed off a special Advent calendar for Weston. It has 23 pieces, each day has a small devotional and he gets to cut a piece that goes into the nativity. Did you know that Micah prophesied over 500 years before the birth of Christ that he would be born in Bethlehem Ephrathah?
This week we have 2 basketball games, piano lessons, church and one music program. Thank goodness they are not all on the same day. Luke plans on checking cows this week too. One last thought, I am not trying to brag, but we have not one, but TWO roadrunners living at our house. They are so much fun to watch. The kids spotted them both this last weekend.
