We celebrated Christmas/New Year's with Eric's family at Landoll's Mohican Castle this weekend. It was a great time! Riley loved staying in a castle and both boys had so much fun in the swimming pool. It was a very nice gift from Eric's parents. The entire family was there, Eric's brother and his wife and Eric's sister and her fiance. We're not all together like that very often, so it was a really nice time.
Eric's parents went out of their way to plan a lot of really special things for us to do together and we really appreciated it.

Tonight as I'm writing my mom is being admitted to Mt Carmel East Hospital. The timing couldn't be worse. Tomorrow morning at 9:30 is my brother's final court date. He may not come back home tommorrow. So, my dad and my cousin will take my brother to court in the morning and I will be waiting for their phone call with my mom at the hospital. My friend Amy, who always finds a way to help out in times like this, called tonight and asked to keep the boys tomorrow for me. My heart is heavy. I can't imagine how my dad feels right now. Jesus, we need You. We need Your strength for another day.
