Had a fun day running errands with Allie & Sydney in tow. Started with lunch at Hometown in Crestwood, kids eat free - yeah $8 lunch feeding three! Then bought some stuff at Boone Gardener at 75-85% off. Went to dry cleaners, Harvest Bread, BFS to visit Mimi & Grandpa for an hour then to new Target. Back home to unload, eat and watch the Cardinals take on No. 4 Villanova. Beat them three straight times, need a fourth tonight!
Wow, I can't believe the Cards just lost to Villanova after having them down 17 in first half. Makes two bad sports nights in a row for me. Packers gave up a history high scoring playoff to AZ Cardinals last night. I needed the reverse of the two nights to happen, the Cardinals lose last night and the Cardinals win tonight! Oh well, just sports teams.
Luke is pretty much sealed in for St. Louis pulmonary clinic at WashU starting January 19th. PTL! My prayer is that God continues to use him for His glory!

Celebrating the 12th Day of Christmas (Jan 6) Guatemalan Style!
The Louisville Latin Family group celebrated Three Kings Day as is customary in Guatemala and other Latin American countries. Over 30 families with children adopted from Guatemala, Honduras and other surrounding countries gathered at Kazoing Party & Play to celebrate the end of the Christmas season. It is customary for the children to dress up as the kings, decorate a shoebox and leave fruit, straw and water for the kings and their camels. The Three Kings bring presents for the children at night, this is the equivalent to leaving cookies and milk for Santa.
There is also a King cake that is shared among family and friends after the traditional meal of tamales and the like. There is a plastic baby baked into the cake, this represents Jesus and the need to find him a safe place so he would not be killed by King Herod’s soldiers. Allie got the piece with the baby in it but was too shy to celebrate by acting as queen and posing for pictures in front of the entire group. She shared with her friend Abby but in her shyness she chose to pass it on to Jenna who was happy to boast the queens tiara and pose for photos! Can't say as much for the boy who was crowned King. See photos and video below.
