Thank you!

I don't have yesterday's photos from our Advent Activity uploaded yet because I left the camera in the van and Bill took it to work, so that post will be later. For now I just wanted to say thank you. I have, like I'm sure most mom's do at one time or another, been feeling underappreciated. This season, while I feel like I've been giving more of myself than ever before, I feel like some people are asking me for even more (they don't read my blog, so if you're reading this, it's not you :) ). It's amazing how just a couple of people can bring you down. It has been incredibly discouraging. So, I have been praying about my attitude and asking for some encouragement.

God has been faithful in doing that. One of the ways has been through all of you. I wasn't a very good blogger this year--I had more posts in December than I have all year. However, since I started posted daily, I have received around 40 unique hits per day. Now I know this is chump change for someone like the Pioneer Woman. But for someone like me, with a little family blog, it has meant the world. (Except for the person who googled "dirty underwear" and got this post--I am sure they were horribly disappointed, pervert). For the most part I have no idea who most of the people are that have been reading, because I don't get a lot of comments. But, whomever you are, I want you to know that it has been an incredible encouragement to me. I know that this season is incredibly busy for all of us. The fact that anyone (especially those not related to me) would take a few minutes out of their day to read about my day, means more than you could know. So thank you, and let me be an encouragement to you, today. I appreciate you and have been blessed by you all!

Merry Merry Christmas to you and your families
