Right now at my house I have a sweet little girl in bed with Katie. A friend of hers from school here for a sleepover. She is going to church with us tomorrow. It will be her first time in church as far as I can tell. She asked me, "What's it like?"
Incredible. I want to love this little girl as Jesus does. She needs him so much!

Christmas Day
It was a wonderful Christmas Day for the Cobbs. After spending Christmas Eve zipping from place to place for several hours, we had a much more relaxing Christmas Day. Everyone was up by 6:30am, a
t which time we opened gifts and stockings.We spent the morning laying around until we left at 11 for my parents' house. The travel there took all of about 7 minutes! (Yeah for family living close!) There we opened gifts with my siblings and their families. This, of course, is no small task seeing that I have 5 siblings. With spouses and kids there were 19 of us (and most of them haven't even started having families of their own -it's bound to get bigger).
Fun stuff! After lunch we just laid around and played until after naptime.
At home, Chad's parents came to see all of our new stuff and Aaron introduced t
hem to their first Wii experience!Happy Birthday, Jesus! Thanks for letting us enjoy the celebration!

Toddler Speak
Ben has entered the world of conversation! He jabbers and jabbers all the time, some of it is intelligible and some is not. The problem is that he always requires a response, so you have to pretend to understand and give back to him the answer he is seeking. Sometimes that is fairly difficult!
One evening we were driving around looking at Christmas lights, and from his car seat in the middle of the van, Ben says, "Lights. More," while he gives the sign for "more." Might I also add that his big blue eyes were just shining at this point. He also likes to say his name which comes out "ki kaw" for Ben Cobb. And tonight, after returning home from an evening of playing with lots of other little kids, he looks at me while I'm taking off his coat and says, "Fun." That one was easy to understand!
