My two youngest kids woke up too early this morning. Maybe the rare sound of rain on the roof woke them up. We don’t hear that very often in the high desert. In any case, they piled into bed with me and in the course of our early morning half asleep chatter someone said something…

All the flurry of Advent and the prep for Christmas is over. The fridge is full of Christmas dinner leftovers to carry us through the 12 days of Christmas and onward to Epiphany. Here’s our official Christmas card for anyone who might have been expecting to get a card in the mail 😉 …
