Well, it's been a while since I've written anything here. As Mary pointed out to me, I can't use the school excuse anymore since I've been out of school for a couple weeks already. We've had a whirl wind of family gatherings over the last week or two. It was a lot of fun, and we were sad to see everyone go, but sometimes it is nice to get back to normal life.We had a fun Christmas with my folks, it is fun to have a new generation of kids running around for a change. It's funny how much less I've cared about what I get for Christmas since Dylan was born. There is a huge switch that gets turned, and it's all about the kids.
At the Bouchers (Sarah's family) we had an incredibly sweet time. A bunch of the daughters, grandkids and great-grandkids wrote notes to Jim about memories of him that they cherished. Jim read all the notes out loud and we all listened. It was a very Christmasy morning, full of joy and tears and all that.
Amongst the many things that Dylan received this year was a tutu from my mom. Last night Sarah put it on her head to entertain Dylan. Dylan thought it was hyllarious and then wanted it on her head. For the next 15 minutes or so Dylan wore the tutu on her head and laughed and played. Every time it fell off, Dylan would hand it to Sarah so she could put it
back on. Here are a bunch of pictures for your parusing pleasure.
