the view from our balcony

It is an exceptionally cold and windy day here at Tybee Island. Not much can be said for being on the beach, but alot can be said for gazing upon it from inside our warm condo. (sorry that the picture is slightly slanted. This wasn't my best shot, but it was the one that got on the post.)

The therapy for little Eli is expected to start next Tuesday. We are hoping that they can jump start him so that he can sit, pull up, and stand very soon. It will take a long while to be able to see the pediatric neurologist and all are hopeful that his problem will be solved without having to see the specialist.

Jake was extremly upset yesterday when he awoke from his nap to find that the Christmas tree with the lights and the "north star" on top had been removed. He would have been quite happy to have that set up be a permanent part of his home. What must the little guys think about the crazy things we adults do?

Lucy spent all day yesterday in "big girl panties" with only one accident. We rejoice for David and Erika as diapers are so expensive. Lucy got interested in potty training from a book that she got for her birthday.

Harry is quietly growing. He is very strong and healthy and has these great big blue eyes. He likes face time with anyone who will take the time to talk to him. He is very animated for such a wee one.

I have to talk to myself the night before and plan that I will stay home and do housework. That I have done today. I think I picked a good day seeing as it is so cold. The condo smells clean and that makes me very happy.

special pleasures just for today:

this old grey cashmere sweater that is keeping me so warm
the sunlight streaming through the window
being at the best part of my novel
not leaving the house
the smell of clean
listening to my favorite music
thinking about the ones I love

a "cozy" day.............the only thing missing is a fireplace.

It is good to be right with God.....everything is all joy. c
