I do like looking at winter. Aaron, your office: This very sad thing happened to John and Dannell’s tree–fell right over. This is not the firs time. This happened to Heidi years ago too. Thump. And that’s the end of the night. Nothing but love, Val
A couple extra Thanksgiving pictures of that little baby of ours– Oh, and this. This is the candy dish where Tim placed a handful of the Bean Boozled jelly beans hoping to snag a niece or nephew. Well, the person who actually ate these was MY DAD. Good God. One of the sisters ran to
The tree is up. The kids helped decorate inside, and Jay worked outside. This was from the Christmas we brought Elin home. New lights in the garland, and I like them much better than the lights we had for a year or two–those were too led blue, had flicker to them. I hated them. These
It was a great Thanksgiving, family all around. My brother’s family was here, and I was so happy to see them. We used to do a continuous table, but last year changed it up to four separate tables, a better plan. Mama and p.j., two peas in a pod: Oh my goodness, these two partners

We drove up on this beautiful, bright morning to eat an early Thanksgiving dinner with them. It was quiet and relaxing. Jay’s brother was there too, and they played cards, but no fights ensued. Julia and Kari ventured out before dark. And then we headed home again. Here they are from a couple weeks ago:

It was a gloomy morning, quiet, just me at home. In the thirty minutes before I had to start work, I cleaned this cabinet out. It was mostly just tousled, all the art supplies and craft kits. Voila. It’s neat in the cabinet now, but it’s also easy to forget because I just shut the
Today’s mail brought a bill I had already paid, and this report card. You go, Julia! I’m so glad you’re having success at school–and in grades seven and eight, about the most bizarre two years of school that exist, so glad. Jay called while I was working this morning and asked if I wanted to
