Christmas Letter 2013

Christmas is 12 days long
Right?
I'm not late yet.

The best part of 2013?
for me anyway -
Amazing vacations
 Maine with the whole family
 and mystical Cape Cod
 Lobster!
 and sunsets where the sky was seamless with the ocean.

A trip to the national parks of the southwest when the government shut down
 We had Zion National Park to ourselves!
 No tourists crawling the place
 Bliss!

Oscar fun at Emi's house
 themed menu
 Oscar Bingo and bleating goats
 glittery things all around
 alternately trashing and cheering what we saw.

There were tough times.
Forrest had health issues
 two surgeries
 emergency trips to M.D. Anderson
 scary!
He's fine now.
Our kids were champions through it all.

For me the bad was often insomnia
 dragging myself through the days
 and thrashing through the nights.

God is faithful and good.
We're still here on Carnegie Street
 and grateful for your friendship.

This comes with love
 and prayers for an excellent 2014.
