Celebrations

 The last two weeks have been full of celebrations. We had Christmas at home, then Christmas with my family in Eugene, then took a trip up to Vancouver BC to visit Jeff‘s brother and family. 

We played lots of games, engaged in feats of strength, and generally enjoyed our holidays and visits.

Today is the last day before kids go back to school and we go back to a new term at work, and things go back to normal. As one last hurrah, Linden managed to get her shoes stuck in the mud at the park and decided to carry her muddy shoes and walk all the way home in her socks. 

There is nothing more quintessentially childhood than that.
