I am missing the sun......and the dray......and Christmas with my family.

I leave for Portugal in a week and I am going to spend Christmas with Diogo's family. I am very excited to spend time with a family this year, but there is an ache of homesick about not seeing my own family on Christmas. Especially now that my brother will be having a baby soon. Though both kids don't live at home and haven't for several years, there is something sentimental that stirs in me about this Christmas being the last Christmas the my nuclear family is just four.

Life moving forward, welcoming and reminiscent.

Merry Christmas 2007
