Twas the week before Christmas

First of all, let me just wish your family a very blessed Christmas.  It is a joy for me to come and work with your children each day, and I hope you enjoy this time off and can not only find time for rest and relaxation but for worship together at this most holy of times.

Let me set up the blog this week in list form so that you can see day by day what we have.
