Dear Children, we had sick kids, concerts and half days. School is officially out for Christmas break. Dear Rain, i like rain, but I like it a lot more when I don't need to go grocery shopping. And grocery shopping is so much worse during Nov and Dec in a small town. Dear Pictures, waiting too long for a family picture means using the self timer in the back yard. Not too shabby even when one child was bound to make me mad. Dear Will, it will be nice to have you home for the weekend. I wish we could go on a real date, but we will have to wait for that. And by the way, you are kind of hard to buy gifts for. Dear Self, i wish I was as crafty and festive as I used to be. I've learned to let a lot of things go for now. That's fine as long as it's not forever.
