Christmas Season

Our Christmas Season is in full swing...as goes everything, I suppose. I'm a little late in getting Christmas cards out, as I just ordered them about an hour ago, but they'll make it on time. I'm certain of it.

This weekend was Eggnog Weekend. A Hatcher family tradition, around which generally circles a little bit of tension and short tempers, this year was the best year yet. Granted, the nog is a little boozy (just the way that I like it...not that I'll be drinking any this year), but the preparation was a blast. So much fun, in fact, that we actually spent the entire weekend at my parents' house. If only someone would have thought to have brought a camera...

Christmas shopping is well underway, though I feel very unprepared. Patrick is making out like an absolute bandit this year, but it's so much fun to buy things for him that go along with his interests. Skeletons, music, Wall-E, tunnels, turtles...the list goes on. I'm so excited to see his face on Christmas. St. Nicholas Day was enough to put him over the edge with just a stocking full of candy...actual wrapped presents is going to be a ball. This is the first year that we get to play Santa, too, which seems almost like it's a sacred induction into the Childhood Years. I can't wait.

Our ASC Christmas party has come and gone...with a BANG. A dinner at Mo's, a night at the new Cambria Suites, a Christmas bonus, iPhones, and a Tiffany keychain later, I feel as though my Christmas should be over. We really are blessed.

Tis the season!

Ooh...also, here is a pic, 18 weeks and counting. Tomorrow, we go in for the 20-week ultrasound. I can't wait to see the little one....all that I need is a profile pic to pick up Adam's precious mouth on his second child. It's a dead giveaway. As always, pictures will be posted.

Dad

October, 2019 Nearly seven weeks ago, my dad died.  Writing that seems as surreal as the actual experience.  And yet, here I sit, fatherless...
