Celebrating the Season

Christmas is coming and our little family is really looking forward to it! Bob gets the entire week off after Christmas and we are going to have a blast as a stay at home family. It is going to be great. Bob and I are now in the calm before the storm with our running. We are officially done with the long distance, stressful, hours of running and into the tapering before the race mode. It is really nice, but also a reality check that in less than 3 weeks we will be running 26.2 miles. So hard to believe that it is almost here.


Last weekend Nana and Opa Martin came into town to visit the Jessups. Lily Grace simply loved Nana and both Grace and I looked like second rate citizens up against her. What a precious thing.


Opa brought with him all of his bread making magic and blessed our household with delicious Wittebur. Hard to describe, but it is a Swedish sweet bread that is SOOOOOO good! We have been eating bread for three meals a day right now. Is that bad?? Oh well if it is, Christmas time is for celebrating all of the good things in life. YUM!

Lily and Jancsi have become such dear friends lately. It is just so precious to watch them play with each other.


Lily is still the "big kid," and Jancsi so desperately wants to do everything that she does. Both of the little ones are still absolutely enthralled with the pink princess car. Right now, Jancsi just loves to ride and Miss Lily is absolutely content to push his little self around.


We don't have the heart to tell her that she has the hard part. We will let her live in blissful ignorance a few months longer. Right now, they are enjoying the innocence of the moment. Pure joy.
