Merry Christmas!




Managed to keep a secret from the kids for three months and surprised them on Christmas Eve with a trip to DISNEYLAND! We had a wonderful time, and an all-too-brief visit with Mike and Lori and their families.
It is good to be home enjoying the quiet. I still have a few days off from work and will be getting our "Christmas" letter done and in the mail soon.
Happy New Year, everybody!

the clueless parent

the childcare center where i work had a christmas party on friday. the kids sang, santa came (i'm apparently still on the nice list! he called my name!), and we had cookies and punch. while visiting with parents at the party, one of the moms said "i saw arnold directing the pep band at the basketball game!" and i had no idea, of course. so i asked arnold about it and he says "oh, yeah, i'm kinda like drum major so i get to direct when mr. d doesn't want to or whatever."

today at our staff christmas luncheon terry says to me "i see arnold is being inducted into the hall of fame or something tonight." and of course i had no idea, again. it was in friday's paper on the sports page (which i don't read). sitka high school has a "wall of champions" and arnold's photo is being added tonight along with his other relay team mates that won the state track meet last spring.

i used to think i knew what my kids were up to.

Merry Christmas
