The family. We are a strange little band of characters trudging through life, sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that binds us all together.

Boot Prints

We found a boot print in the fireplace this morning. More proof that the big man still exists. The kids were wonderful even on such little sleep. They were up at 4am, even though we made them wait until 7am to get us out of bed. It was hard to sleep for those three hours, but it's the principle of the matter that counts.

We had a wonderful Christmas together. And it looks like it just might snow.
