Counting down to Christmas

It's a busy time of the year. Clients want end-of-year things done. Christmas shopping continues, although my limited requirements are shopping for my lovely wife--who, generally without complaint, shops for all of my family as well as hers. She also does the shopping for my Mom, who is limited by her health.

Caitlin is home from college where she has completed her Fall semester at Alabama, and will officially be a Junior in number of hours a semester early. She has done extremely well, and has thrived socially and academically in that environment.

Sarah and Andrew are finishing up their classes this week--it's still important, as OMHS counts "semester" grades only, and this quarter will end the 1st semester. Both are doing very fine in their classes and we have no worries about their success.

Collin's birthday is 4 days before Christmas, and this week his class will celebrate his birthday with doughnuts Sue will bring in for him. Rachel is in front of the television drawing Christmas pictures--she has no homework tonight, for the first time in many weeks (during the weekday).

All in all, it truly is a wonderful time. And that's even before Santa Claus visits.
