Tying One (or Two or Three) On

After  the apron for Eli met with so welcome a reception, I knew I needed to make two more -- for Nate and Aberdeen, both of whom like to help their parents in the kitchen. I was able to finish Nate's by the 24th, and put the finishing touches on Aberdeen's this morning.

We had a quiet Christmas, due in part to a couple of developments impacting our extended family. Quiet, but nonetheless lovely. I worked the evening shift at the hospital and came home tired and sad to reflect on a couple of lovely families for whom Christmas will  never, ever be the same.

We'll be seeing our Virginia personnel beginning on Sunday; of necessity, blogging my slow down a bit.
