Let It Snow...

The last week has been a bit busy.  I played catch up the first half of the week.  Wednesday, I helped lead a "Lessons and Carols" service with a British chaplain.  This is the first time I've put on any type of clerical robe in several years.  Anyway, we were on the road the next morning to go to Landstuhl, Germany.  My assistant had surgery, and we wanted to go up to check on her.  The roads coming back were sheets of ice.  We managed to stay out of the ditches, but had a couple of slides that weren't a lot of fun.  The last couple of days were spent getting ready for some entertaining this week.  As you can see from the pictures, the snow from the last couple of days is beginning to pile up.

You can also see Isaac's new way of entertaining himself with the Christmas gifts.  He's ignored the gifts up to this point, but this morning he thought they'd make good blocks.  This would be funny except for the only reason he stacks blocks is so he can knock (or kick) them down. 

He wore me out in the snow this afternoon.  I tried with very little success to get him interested in a snowman.  However, his favorite snow activity is making me get a running start before diving into the snow.  My head still hurts and we came back inside three hours ago.

I've added some pictures to the photo albums, including some of Claire.  To the left is her first attempt at eating solid food.
