Thanksgiving

Even though it's been a peaceful holiday season since I didn't do the craft fair this year and I also don't have a daily job to go to, I haven't been posting! Not really sure why.

So, you can go to my sister's blog to see a little of what our Thanksgiving was like. Except for the crazy airport security lines for us in Orange County and in Austin, it was great. I would have liked to see more of my Austin friends, but when we don't make it there very often, family wins out.

I took a few little videos on the zumi and made a quick collection to show how cute my nephews (and my husband) are. Curtis was cracking me up with how he wanted people to tickle and play with him and Wesley holding Curtis' hand on the walk down to the lake was extra cute.

Advent

Let all mortal flesh keep silence, and with fear and trembling stand;
Ponder nothing earthly minded, for with blessing in his hand
Christ our God to earth descended, our full homage to demand.

Rank on rank the host of heaven spreads its vanguard on the way,
As the light of light descending from the realm of endless day,
That the powers of hell may vanish as the darkness clears away.

At his feet the six-winged seraph; cherubim with sleepless eye,
Veil their faces to the Presence, as with ceaseless voice they cry,
"Alleluia, Alleluia! Alleluia, Lord Most High!"

- Liturgy of St. James (the hymn for yesterday's vespers office in The Divine Hours)
