Many of you have been lucky enough to be on the super special annual Christmas letter (1 part picture, 1 part information, 7 parts funny) that has been a staple since 2001. Or you could have just read them here.
Well, I’m here to tell you that the 2009 iteration isn’t coming. We have had quite a bit going on around here, and I just haven’t felt up to the whole production. Didn’t want you all to think that you’d been cut from the list. Maybe you have, but it’s immaterial this year.
Don’t know whether this is a temporary hiatus, whether we’ll start mailing it in like so many of you do with a cookie cutter photo card (I’m looking at many of you, but especially Number Three and Kirkland), or whether we’ll come back stronger than ever next year. I’m betting on none of the above.
Heck, the last two days were almost been more than I can handle as Holly and the kids spent 22 hours making the >5 hour trip back from Erick because of the snowstorm that hit north Texas. They pulled in at 8 a.m. Christmas morning. Never thought I’d see the day that my kids would wander right be the presents on Christmas morning to go take a nap. It. Happened.
Poor neglected tree
As I post this–at 4 a.m.–Madysen, Emma, Layla, and I are on our way to board a flight for Ft. Lauderdale, FL for a soccer tournament for the rest of this year. We’ll see grandparents, aunts and uncles, and cousins from my family. Hopefully I’ll abide.
Merry Christmas to you all.
