We spent Christmas with my family in Arkansas. It was a really fun time, although family time is always tinged with a “make the most of every moment” kind of sadness these days. We spent a lot of time reading, drinking coffee, playing games like Cranium and Clubs. We saw I Am Legend, which we really enjoyed, even though it caused me to jump and shiver like a wee girl. We opened presents and met old friends. We drove twelve hours…twice…

Now we’re at Ange’s parents house for the next few days for a bit of same-song-second-verse. There will be puzzles, great conversation, and late-night movies I’m sure.

We have really great families. Thank you, Lord.
