Following the wedding we returned home to Wetumpka. My sweet in-laws came home with us because Earl was speaking at our congregation the following day. He has not slowed down one bit! Every morning he was out at 6:30AM to walk his daily miles. I enjoyed the time with Lora baking in the kitchen and visiting with family (Chelsea, Justin and Brandon and Kristin came and spent a few days with us. On Wednesday Karen, Dan and Caleb arrived from Houston, TX. We shared many wonderful meals, singing, and even tuba playing:) On Christmas Eve, Jon and Kristin joined us having just flown in from their honeymoon. I'm sure Kristin will have such warm memories of her first Edwards Christmas (the tuba playing, going to bed alone while Jon plays Santa building a table tennis table for his little brothers, etc.:). Christmas morning, after waking to a white Alabama Christmas, we headed to Birmingham to share a meal with the grandchildren and their parents. One of my favorite memories was of Terry sitting by the window, playing the guitar while the snow gently fell outside. Little Maria pulled up a little chair and they sang together about " a little girl named Maria and her Grandpa watching the snow fall..." Terry was always very creative with his lyrics! We headed home that evening to spend a bit more time with Terry's sister before she had to head back to Texas.
