Emily started the month of December with a “last-ditch, before-the-baby-arrives hurrah”. She went on a girls’ trip with some of the women from our church congregation. They took a 3-day road trip to Germany and Poland to visit Christmas markets and to shop for Polish pottery. It was a long drive but Em really enjoyed having an opportunity to spend time chatting, touring, and shopping with friends.
Dresden and Seiffen are well known for their holiday markets and are beautiful towns to visit. (Seiffen is the town where most of the German wooden decorations -like nutcrackers and wooden arches- originated). Boleslawiec, Poland is kind of a drab little town, but it has lots of factories that make pretty pottery. If you want to know what the pottery looks like, you can Google it or come and visit us and Emily will gladly show you her collection.
Jay is a really nice guy. While Em was off playing with her friends, he took time off work to stay home with James. They had all sorts of fun adventures in Mama’s absence.
