we like snow.

We had a great Christmas here. No, we didn't get Sam an iPod. That's his Nana's, and she lets him use it as much as he wants.

Just for fun, you can compare this to Sam's sonogram portrait.

Pirate

This one is for Cap'n Molly, so she doesn't start to miss her previous life. Beth asked me to please stop using the phrase, "or I'll cut yer guts out!"

For Jennie

This one is for Jennie... and so Garyanna II doesn't feel slighted before she's even born.

As you can see, Morrill Christmas was a huge success.

Plus: Molly Doyle has arrived! Congratulations Melissa & John.

We're having the Morrill pre-Christmas celebration this weekend in Concord since we'll be in Virginia for Christmas day. It's definitely going to be a white pre-Christmas, and Sam will get to do some serious sledding on the big sledding hill at his Gran and Grandad's house.

One of my favorite podcasts and this remind me that I need to start working on a mix for 2007. (If anyone cares, I currently have 197 songs from 2007 with a rating of three stars or better. I need to whittle that down to 15 or so. OK, so no one cares.)

Two hour delay this morning. I think a two-hour delay would be nice every Monday, to help us ease back into the week.

Samuel's second time sledding looks a bit more like winter. He got to try his new sled, a gift from his Georgia grandparents and aunt Ashley who came to visit for the weekend, and then almost couldn't leave due to the amount of snow that fell. The sled is from L.L.Bean and highly recommended.

Also highly recommended: Easy, No Knead Crusty Bread. Beth has made a few loves of this, and it is incredibly good. And incredibly easy to make too, according to Beth. We've always wanted to make our own bread, but never found a loaf worth the time and effort. The website I linked to has a short video if you need more instruction than the recipe provides.
