Update

I have no idea if anyone still checks this, but I thought I would update anyone about the last month or so. I got back from Iraq on December 3. December was the massive tour of everyone for Christmas. Normally, Emily and I only go to one family on each holiday. It saves us from spending most of our break driving from one place to another. Since I had not seen anyone in TN for a couple of years, we ended up making a massive loop through KY, TN, and AL on our way to the farm for Christmas with our family. I'll spare the details and give the bullets.

• Isaac did finally begin to figure out that it was ok to tear into the Christmas paper. It was on the last two gifts he opened, but he got it.
• My wife gave me a BB gun. There is a long standing joke behind that. (Some of the pictures in the online albums are thus explained).
• Emily's little brother proposed to his girlfriend.
• Emily managed to pick up and spread a stomach virus to more than a dozen people, including Isaac. (I briefly considered turning her into the CDC as a pandemic). I don't think we're invited back to any friends' homes now.

Tomorrow morning, I leave to go back to MS. My brothers and I are going to Disney World. My younger brother and I are running the Disney Marathon. My father and other brothers are running a 5k there.

OK, that's the once over. I'll get back to keeping this up to date since I am home and have all but stopped checking facebook.

Oh yeah, family can get the Christmas pictures I have from my album.
