Twas the night before Christmas when down on the farm, not a creature was stirring as to cause any alarm;
So we hung our stockings by the entry with care, as we don't have a fireplace or any of that flair.
Our four children were nestled all snug in their Christmas pajamas since it was only thirty degrees out and we don't live in the Bahamas. 
Now with Mom in her PJ's and I in a stocking cap, we settled on down and started to wrap.
When upstairs in the house we heard such a clatter, but quickly found out it was our eldest Son, relieving his bladder. 
Back to our room mom and I had to flee, in order to start setting up the kids new teepee.
Soon we were done wrapping all of the presents; and decided we'd better get rest before the next days events.
But before we laid down to dream and reminisce; we knew it was time to give our kids a good nights kiss. 
After we prayed by their sides and turned off the night light, we whispered in their ears, we love you dear child, Merry Christmas and Good Night.

WOW how time flies, the Wagar family celebrated our youngest son's 1st Birthday on December 15th.  This has been quite a year for this little one, who was diagnosed with epilepsy (seizures) back in August of this year.  Since that time he has endured multiple tests which include an MRI, a regular EEG's, a 24-hour video EEG, and about 15+ blood tests.  We have been blessed to work with the state's best neurological seizure specialist, and based upon the results prayer and the multitude of tests have been blessed with the news that his seizures, which were first diagnosed as infantile spasms (very rare and debilitating), are actually focal seizures which have a much better and more manageable prognosis.  He is currently on medication (Kepra) which at this point have allowed him to be seizure-free for the past 3 months.  Our prayer for him on this 1st Birthday, is that the medication would continue to work and that God would place His healing hand upon our son's head and remove all seizures from him permanently. 

So here's to our son!  Here Here...  

God has blessed you my son..and He has blessed us by allowing you to be in our family.  WE LOVE YOU!


 

During December in the Wagar house the homeschooling turns to the subject of home economics.  This year that means Sugar Cookies, Iced Ginger Bread cookies, and Rice Crispy treats.  In addition, oldest son and daughter helped my wife make her world famous ravioli's (YUM!) which we enjoyed during the celebration of my youngest sons' 1st birthday 

 

After a long day of car shopping we met up with some friends and went out to enjoy family night at Chick-Fil-A.  What does family night mean?  It means free kids meals with dessert, and free face painting...  You can't beat that, and as you can see the kids really enjoy it too.
