It has started.
This afternoon, while browsing for some q-tips at the Super W, I heard a grandma say to her granddaughter, "Be good, Santa's comin'." She had the sweetest, most Texas grandmotherly tone, but it struck me as silly and got me thinking as I decided between walmart-brand and Johnson & Johnson. What if I told a child in my kindest, most Katie-like voice, "Be good, Jesus is comin'." Wouldn't that be a little more accurate? But you have to admit, it sounds a lot more ridiculous. To all of you parents out there, please test this on your child for me and let me know how it goes.

Back from a wonderful, quick trip to Echo Valley, part of the HEB Encampment in the Texas Hill Country. Highland held their bi-annual family retreat, and I took Carlee & Jolee as my family. We were only there for about 23 hours, but we did lots of playing, swinging, eating, canoeing, worshiping, laughing, and fellowshipping. People thanked me for bringing them, but it was truly the treat for me. Once again, pictures from my weekend...

Nickel Creek
On Thursday afternoon Kaylynn, Jamey, and I drove to Dallas and went to see Nickel Creek. Though we had tickets, there were no assigned seats... or any seats at all. So we had to wait in line for an hour to get in, then wait an hour for the concert to start, then listened to the opening show (Martin Sexton) for an hour, then NC for 2 hours. That's 5 blessed hours of standing. But it was well worth it!!! I had never heard Martin Sexton before, but I now own one of his albums. And NC was amazing as always. They are so wonderful live and never disappoint. Now that I have seen them 4 times in concert and in random places around Nashville, I feel like we are old friends... minus the Christmas cards, phone calls, or general acknowledgement.
These pics aren't the greatest, but not too bad since we were so close! Hope you enjoy! :)
