My Life with Boys: The stuff of legends . . .

It seems a certain middle child of ours was very concerned last night. He quizzed his daddy over and over if Santa brought presents for naughty children. Daddy said no. But what about children who are a little naughty and a little good? I think Griffin's recent naughty deeds were starting to catch up with him. Thankfully, Santa saw the good and was able to overlook the naughty . . . for this year anyway!

I was surprised to see a few presents under the tree with my name on them. I was especially interested to see that my gifts were in boxes from a certain photographic supplier. Wow. I was getting photographic gear for Christmas. Of course, after I opened my gifts Ian fessed up. He admitted that recently while cleaning his woodshop he came across an unopened box and discovered that it was stuff that I'd ordered myself in July of 2006 and promptly forgot about. Sure, why not wrap it up and put it under the tree!

Ian assures me that if he were to order himself a new engine package for the Bertram he would not shove it in the basement and forget about it!

Merry Christmas! And may 2008 be a Joyful, Happy, Healthy year for all!
