My end of year projects are finally winding down (better late than never). Christmas decorations are put away (weekend before last). 2010 gift calendars to family are in the mail (today). Our first Christmas letter in four years is written, copied, and labels printed. A few are actually in the mail. It feels good to be getting somewhere, finally.
Today the younger two start their official ice skating lessons for the winter. We've loved getting on the ice all fall and several times in January but lessons are a good place to insist on improvement. It'll be nice to get Vivace off the crate. The older two have requested and stood by their request to take a year off from skating lessons. Still they love to skate and I hope to get them to a public skating session soon. We did "Itty Bitty Skate" (a time especially for ages 6 and under) a couple times recently and even took Vivace's closest friend along a couple days ago. It's fun to be on the ice with all these little kids who don't even know that they're learning something when they pick toys up off the ice (balance!). I hope to get back to my own lessons in the next couple weeks (after the Superbowl). And yes, I'm wearing my helmet.
Tomorrow our friends, the Stuarts, will arrive in the Dominican Republic and head overland to Haiti. Please pray for them for a safe journey. We'll keep you posted.
