French braiding Alex's hair everyday.

Waking up in the middle of the night to my 5 year old nephew (Jesse) saying in his sleep 'mine, mine, mine'... the day after Christmas. Then 'no Shane (his little bro) you can't have that because you're not big enough'. These are the things that trouble little kids. Sometimes I wish I could go back to those times.

Confidently charging the snow shoe excursion, thinking I was so in shape because it seemed so easy. Then feeling like every muscle in my entire body ached for the next two days.







... and the victory goes to...

The Charles Christmas Pagaent (well done Bro. Charles).

Watching three kids under the age of six wait patiently to open their presents while we made breakfast, ate, cleaned up, and read the real Christmas story. Kimberly and Kevin are amazing parents.

Christmas morning patience in action.
