When you look at this record of your childhoods, you may wonder why there aren't photos and stories about Christmases and family visits. Those big events tend to pass without a post, while there are so many words written about normal afternoons. I'll tell you what, kiddos: during those vacations and holidays and visits, I'm just too wrapped up in the living to stop and record. It's during the happy lulls that I take the time to snap pictures and write a few words. I want to change a little, because I want you to see and know, when your memories fade, that you were showered with love this Christmas (so many presents, goodies, and adventures), partied hardy with friends on New Year's Eve (10:30 pm before you gave up and fell asleep watching TED talks on their couch), and loved on little Cooper and Karen when they visited (June, the slow motion hugs and lap sits are hilarious and sugar-sweet).
For today, though, I bring you another lovely, easy weekend. A walk to the Stock Show fairgrounds with us, Ellen, and Grandpa; dinner at our house with Flash and Ben, too; church and a picnic after; and a play date at the Dallas Arboretum with the Andreanis. Glitz then grass.
Good night darlings.
