Christmas
Well, we survived Christmas and the Aftermath of Christmas once again this year. The house hasn't returned to order although I'm not sure it ever is. We live in a state of creative disorder as Beth and I think better that way. Madeline likes to keep the house looking in her words "fun." I think it's better to keep people waiting while we have to dig for the ringing phone anyway.

It has been great to have Brady and Kim here. We all watched the third installment of "The Lord of the Rings" last night while Dad and Mom Smith looked after the little munchkin. Thank you Mom and Dad! Tommorrow starts the ratrace again, yeah!
