Christmas Past


My good father-in-law sent pictures. . .

So, late in the game, here are a few, almost all from Texas.

I had a post planned in my head--two days ago--but I am currently at BLAH stage. You know what I mean. The three girls are finally in bed, two so tired that they cried. Funny children. I feel as though I have earned my hour or two of mindless entertainment before sleep tonight.

So enjoy the pictures. Don't I have gorgeous extended family?

Merry and her cousin Isabella.


My beautiful new nephew, Jacob.

Elspea and her cousin Lilia.

Elspeth in her element, or one of them.

Merry and Martin embarked on a day of art in downtown Houston--they sketched, created poems about a Mark Rothko painting in the Mark Rothko chapel, and Martin conducted an interview with Merry. Merry's earlier art has been compared to a Twombly, and here she is outside the exhibit.

Two birthday cakes in one day: Merry wanted cheesecake, and Elspeth got the lemon-glazed vanilla gumdrop. Aren't they rather pretty?


Out of the warm TX weather, back to snow! Snow! Snow!
