"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, PATIENCE..."

Here is Caleb's Christmas stocking. It's hard to tell how tiny it is with nothing showing perspective, but trust me...compared to Foxy Mama's and Stud Papa's stockings, this thing is quite fitting for a baby!
Galatians 5:22-23 is a doozie. My (Jason's) Christmas break from teaching was one week ago. Christmas was a few days later. Caleb's due date was yesterday. And we are required to blend "love, joy, [and] peace" WITH "patience." It may be a virtue, but it's a virtue that I don't have time for! (Read: Lame humor!) Nonetheless, God certainly knows exactly what we all need, and He gives good gifts to those who know Him. Caleb may never be able to fit into his own stocking (remember, I said it really was small!), but he will be quite the amazing gift whenever he does come!

Matt, You need to stop it with all this tax stuff. Caleb is gonna come on January 8, that is all there is to it. You just hold that little guy in Val for just 8 more days. :P~~~

You guys (all 3 of you) are in my thoughts and prayers.
