Changing The World From A Car Seat

Erich and KT

In Pastor Greg's sermon this week he told a story of a young boy helping his mother set up the nativity set in their home.  As the little boy unwrapped each porcelain piece he proclaimed, "Here's the shepard!", "Here's Mary!", "Here's the cow!" and as he unwrapped the last piece he announced, "And here is Baby Jesus in his car seat!" 

This month Christians around the world are preparing with great anticipation to celebrate the long ago arrival of a baby boy that changed the world.  Our family is preparing with great expectation

VERY large stuffed animals!

the arrival of a baby boy also!  Baby Mason is due the middle of February and we are so very excited!  Erich and KT (my son and his wife) are busy painting the nursery, picking out a car seat and buying very large stuffed animals. 

Although this post is certainly filled with lots of joy; there is nothing "every day" or common about this particular event.  We have stopped holding our breath as the pregnancy progressed and count our blessings daily that this little (or not so little?) bundle of baby-goodness is coming.  

This baby is going to change OUR world. (And yes, he has a car seat.)
