The Real Christmas Story
Luke 2: 1-20
The Birth of Jesus
1In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. 2(This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.) 3And everyone went to his own town to register.
4So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. 5He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. 6While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, 7and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
The Shepherds and the Angels
8And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. 11Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ[a] the Lord. 12This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger."
13Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, 14"Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests."
15When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let's go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about."
16So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. 17When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, 18and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. 19But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. 20The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.
I have heard and read this story more times than I can count...but this year more than ever I'm so grateful for it. I'm so grateful that we are able to celebrate the birth of our Savior more than two thousand years later. So even though it's technically a day late, Merry Christmas everybody!!!!
(I'll post some pictures in the next few days and tell you all about our wonderful time )

Butt Measurement
With that he proceeded to get a measuring tape and measure the grill and then went over to where his wife was working and measured his wife's bottom.'Yes, I was right; your butt is two inches wider than the barbecue grill!!!'
The woman chose to ignore her husband. Later that night in bed, the husband is feeling Frisky. He makes some advances towards his wife who completely brushes him off.
'What's wrong?' he asks.
She answers: 'Do you really think I'm going to fire up this big-ass grill for one little weenie?'

Look Out World...Here I Come!!!
Edwin is changing so much every day!! Last weekend, he started to figure out how to crawl. And over the past week, he's pretty much mastered the art of getting from one side of the room to the other. It helps that he has such strong motivation too. Mom (Grandma) bought him the cutest toy at Kohl's. It's a singing Abomidable (?) Snowman that lights up and dances. Turn that sucker on and Edwin takes off like it's a race!!
I have another video just like this one from yesterday, but I fell asleep on the couch last night and didn't upload it. But I think you get the point. He can move!!! He also graduated to the big boy room at daycare...also known as the Infant II room. Basically, it means he can get into things, so he's in with the other movers and shakers. My baby is growing up :)

Not Always Easy
Matthew 10:22 says "22All men will hate you because of me, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved. "
A lot of things have changed for me over the past year or so. By reading God's Word, I have grown much stronger in my faith. I truly feel like God has revealed His truth to me. I stand firm in my faith knowing that no matter what people throw at me, I can back it up with His Word. The way I see the world and everything in it has shifted. This has NOT been easy. But I can't focus on what others think of me...there's only one opinion I'm concerned about.
On Sunday, I'm going to be baptized as an adult. I am not great with words and I wish I could accurately express what this means to me. For the first time in my life, I have made a conscious decision to follow the Lord and I want to share that with everybody possible. Yes I've always believed in God, but this confirms a relationship with Him. This baptism is an expression of my faith, admitting my need for Christ and accepting His sacrifice for me. My desire is to walk with the Lord daily, to constantly seek His will and not my own. I am no longer afraid to tell people I am a Christian. One of my constant prayers is that all of my family and friends will one day be able to experience the same joy that He has brought to my life. Yes, it can be uncomfortable to follow Jesus Christ, but I can't imagine it any other way.

Pumpkins
Being a Christian is like being a pumpkin.God lifts you up, takes you in, and washes all the dirt off of you. He opens you up, touches you deep inside and scoops out all the yucky stuff-- including the seeds of doubt, hate, greed, etc.Then He carves you a new smiling face and puts His light inside you to shine for all the world to see. Happy Fall!

Christmas and Lowe's
We have a HUGE yard and it’s very difficult to mow because it’s about 90% weeds and the rest is sand. Anyway, Ed finally settled his motorcycle accident case so we’re taking a small portion and investing in a riding lawn mower. It takes Ed forever to do the yard and that takes away from what little time we spend together as a family. He’s thrilled to have a new toy, and I’m thrilled to be getting my husband back!
Anyway, while Ed was talking to the salesman about the benefits of one mower vs. the other, I took Edwin for a walk down the Christmas aisles. It was so fun to watch his expression as he looked at all of the lights on the display trees. We found one display of “modern” Christmas trees with giant lights that twinkled along with music. Edwin absolutely loved this! I realize he doesn’t really know what’s going on yet, but to know that we can start new family traditions as the Boso Family is so exciting! Plus, God has been working miracles in my life this year…I can’t wait to celebrate the birth of His son. What an amazing gift to the world. I just pray that people will remember the real reason for Christmas. It’s not about gifts, it’s not even about spending time with family (although that’s great). It’s about God fulfilling his promises to us. Oohh…I’m so excited!!!

Just a quick one

Ahhhh Saturday....
Yay! It worked!!!
Check it out!! I figured out how to upload videos!! I took this one this morning....Edwin has been learning how to sit up on his own. I can't believe how big he's getting. Anyway, he's looking dapper in his monkey-pj's, "reading" his Baby Faces book. Okay, more like eating his book. But it's still a cute video. Now that I know I can upload movies, I'll definitely post more. Yay!!!! Enjoy. I'm going to go hang out with the real thing.

I can't think of a clever title
Okay, I'm done complaining about my sleep deficit. There's not a whole lot to update you on. Mom left super early this morning for Minnesota. Last night we all went to dinner at Bolero's (a cuban restaurant) and then to Target for a few things. Mom got to give Edwin his bath and spend a little extra time with him. Can't say that I blame her. He's the best!! We went home and I watched one of my favorite shows-Top Chef. Have you seen it? I can't imagine having to compete like they do, but I certainly enjoy watching the drama. Okay, well I'd better get to work. Yes, I'm at work. Shhhhhh.... Have a great day!!

Hello Pot? This is the Kettle. You're Black
The last time I wrote, I said I'd find out the name of the magazine that Ed is going to be in. Well, I'm a slacker and I still don't know the name. You'll find out when I send the article!! Haha. Sorry.
I have added a few new "favorite websites" to my blog. One of them is called "The Expectant Father". No, I'm not pregnant again. My friend Ashley is due in February and her husband decided to start a blog. It's a good read! The other new link is "Steve Fee". He is a Christian musician that played at our church this weekend. The song is called We Shine and it is soooo fun to listen to! I highly recommend it.
Okay, what else is new in my life? Well, I laughed my butt off this morning when I read Jenny's blog and saw dear David's creepy picture. I'm sure the people that sit around me at work think I'm insane. I'm always laughing. The research industry is not funny--so yeah, I'm sure they think I'm crazy, but I don't really care because I am crazy! I'm typing this blog during my lunch hour....Subway...Mmmm... I should be using my lunch hour to go to the gym, but since I didn't have any food at the house this morning to bring with me, I had to go out.
I'm including 2 pictures for you...mainly because they're the only new ones I have available on my work computer. The first one is Edwin in his carseat. Unfortunately you can't really see his adorable outfit, sent by Grandma Jeanie. But it's Winnie the Pooh and super cute. The second picture is the sight that greeted me when I got home last night. Evidently my son loves to sleep in our bed. He slept for 2 hours!! Well, I really can't think of anything else to tell anyone right now....but at least I posted. Until tomorrow..............

Who does he look like?

Hooray!!!
Yesterday after work, I picked Edwin up from daycare and headed to Mom & Dad's house. Katie and I had to do a few things for my friend Ashley's baby shower on Saturday (sorry--no details because she reads this occasionally). After a delicious dinner cooked by Pappy, Edwin had his nighttime bath-with the help of Grandma and Anthony. As usual, he fell asleep on the car ride home, and continued to sleep when I transferred him to his crib. Normally, he wakes up at 2am, almost exactly. I'm very lucky because Ed feeds him, and then puts him back to bed. Well last night, there was no need. He slept through the night!!! This is a very big event...one that we hope will continue. So he woke up this morning at 6 to eat. After I fed him a bottle, I needed to get ready for work, so I put him in the bed next to Daddy. This is what I left this morning:
What an adorable little boy, huh? I can't wait to see him later today!

Who could ask for more?
These are "my boys". My husband Ed...who I've been married to for a little over a year now. We've gone through a lot already, and continue to do so. But no matter what, we love each other. Then there's our sweet sweet baby boy Edwin. I honestly can't remember what the heck we did without him! He's only 4 months old, but has brought joy to my life that I never imagined. He has the best personality--always laughing and smiling. The only time he gets cranky is if he's tired or hungry. And who of us out there can claim we don't do the same?!!
Well, I have the privilege of being home this afternoon with Edwin. My hubby had to go to work (he'd normally be off today) because one of his co-workers is getting married this weekend and they have a huge party to prep for. Anyway, I had to take the afternoon off to take care of Edwin. Gee, what a hardship! He had just eaten when I got home, so he was ready to play. His new favorite toy is from Auntie Katie--it's a monkey in case you can't tell in the pictures.
After some serious play-time, Edwin got a little tired, so he's sleeping right now...that's the only reason I had time to post this! I'm going to go enjoy the rest of my afternoon off.
I love my birthday!
