Merry Christmas!  Happy New Year!  As I sit down to write, I think how profound I would like to be, on this, the cusp of a new year.  But instead  I think I will just be efficient since we are so far behind.  That is a regular theme in our lives...that's okay.  We're usually behind because we're trying to enjoy the journey:
"The trail is the thing, not the end of the trail. Travel too fast, and you miss all you are traveling for." — Louis L'Amour   I just came across this quote recently and having read at least one L'Amour book, I appreciated the quote even more.  So, that said, let me add some pictures.  We've celebrated Thanksgiving at GG and Papa's house, Wolf's birthday, and of course the holidays and just some silly times in between.  Enjoy!

This is a picture of D. after her "Acorns to Oaks" performance where she had her first solo!  I'll work on uploading a video of her singing it.

This is C.'s new way of carrying her babies...the handles of that basket are around her neck!

This is Clare who was born the same day as Wolf, in the same hospital, with the same doula!  And Clare's mama is my very good friend!  Fun story:)

That gets us to W.'s birthday but I've got lots more pictures, especially of the cookie party extravaganza!  I'll add those later tonight but hungry bellies are calling me to come up with something for dinner!
