A poem I penned this yuletide season:
I’m not good at writing poems
Not good at getting things to rhyme
But one thing’s for certain
2008 is running out of time!
We’ve stretched our use of the dime
Wondered about the economy
As we skipped the occasional spree
Clipped coupons, and walked to every destiny
We’ve all gotten our “I Voted” sticker
Wondered if our wallets will grow thicker
Seen gas prices soar then plummet
As we conjecture who done it
Despite the ups and downs
The smiles and the frowns
It has been a splendid year indeed
In August came beloved Wilder
And with him many a need
To him we opened our arms
And became so smitten by his charm
He is our shining star
Sweeter than a nutty chocolate bar
And with him we feel
Life has never been so real
Wonderful, tender or blessed
Especially when he’s asleep on daddy’s chest
Work is busy for Shawn
Rarely has a minute to tend the lawn
But a worthy and incredible provider is he
Has made it possible for me to be free
Of cubicles, pressed suits, and meetings galore
Staying home with Wilder is never a chore
But a dream come true, a gift from heaven
We enjoy a tidy house, and baked bread from leaven
Mustn’t leave out, that Marley, our boston,
Wonders why on earth Momma’s around so often
We’ve loved visits with friends and family
Who have filled our hearts with glee
Often wondered how lucky we are
To frequently connect with loved ones afar
Another thing’s certain, yes, this I know
Life in Jesus, how richer it grows
He’ll comfort in pain
Send rainbows after the rain
Give plenty for which to cheer
As we begin a new year!
Merry Christmas from Shawn, Mindy, Wilder, & Marley!!!

Merry Christmas fellow Harrises!!! Cute poem.
It has certainly been a blessed year for all of us and we are so thankful to have you as friends. Even though we're far apart, we're glad that modern day technology lets us keep somewhat in touch with your lives.
Hope you had a wonderful Christmas— but really, what more could anyone ask for than family and friends and celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ? We are certainly blessed!
Love & Hugs from Katie & Todd
