Well, nieces arriving later this morning. My wife and I are going to try and get to Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire this afternoon. Turkey needs to thaw. House really needs tidied up. Etc. Etc. But hey, week off right? Never mind the yard work and the laundry and the kids running rampant...
Actually there are always a few bright moments during all the chaos. Miranda and I once again managed to triumph over my wife on the Baby Park track of Mario Kart: Double Dash. Since that's "her" track, that's always a nice feeling. ^_^ Miranda tried to help with the raking, and while her raking skills certainly need some work, it was fun to see her try.
Graeme is pretty close to walking. We have undoctored video proof of him taking a few steps on his own. Pretty soon any sense of peace and calm we had will be out the window.
But again, most of these things are cause for quiet joy. It's been a pretty amazing year in a lot of respects. Watching Graeme grow up, McKenna's taking off in school, Miranda in preschool. Lots of little milestones that we really have to focus on. Despite all the challenges, there are more than enough rewards to make up for it. I hope you can all spend a few moments with your families during this time of year. Even if it's only over the phone.
