The Best Shepherd Ever (and other snippets of the past week)
He got all his lines right and sang beautifully at the Christmas program at school. We have video, but haven’t had a chance to get it on the computer yet, maybe later today.

The same day, later that afternoon…
Daniel had another karate graduation. He’s now a junior orange belt! That means that he gets to move to the bigger dojo (and Mama gets a chair, rather than a bench to sit on during class!) and have new instructors. He has also become part of the Black Belt Club, which means he has committed to continue his classes until he reaches black belt level (about 3 years from now).

Christmas is just one week away and I’m done with my shopping except for David. Of course, I still have to wrap everything and mail a few packages. We’re also waiting on a few things that are shipping too, let’s hope UPS, Fed Ex, DHL, and the USPS have holiday spirit and realize that some boxes need to be handled discreetly (keep your fingers crossed for us)!

Yesterday was a dream day for Daniel. His friend had a birthday party at the zoo in the morning. We had a conference with one of his karate instructors and he got to hear three adults say what a great kid his was. He had a quesdilla from Chile Burrito (one of his favorites) for lunch. Got to go to Target, where we ran into Madelyn for the second time that day (she was at the party earlier too). Got to have ravioli for dinner even though I originally said no pasta or pizza (have you ever gone to the grocery store and all the meat looks like they’ve been filming one of those exposes on how grocery stores keep meat longer than they should?). Then we had chocolate cake for dessert and watched Frosty the Snowman on TV before bed.
