I let an important anniversary get away from me this fall, but I know you are all with me as I savor the fact that it has been over a year since the tall boy has had an encounter with a hospital emergency staff, or a cardio-thoracic surgeon, or an interventional radiologist.
This fall, instead of taking this picture . . .
. . . the husband and I met the tall boy and Her for a birthday celebration and took this glamour shot. Way more fun in every way -- believe it.
Talk about Thanksgiving!

The Advent Calendar book for today is perfect as we enter into the season of snow -- or at least the season of hoping for a few white flakes!
Snow, a Caldecott Honor Book by Uri Shulevitz, is a great picture book that perfectly captures the excitement a child feels upon seeing a first snowflake . . . and then a second, and a third. Shulevitz portrays the frustration and faith of one little boy who longs for snow. Gorgeous!
I am thankful for your tall boy too! A reminder for us all that what we treasure can be taken away from us. And, I have a new book that I can look up for the next time the Littles come to visit :)
