And it looks a lot like Christmas, too! We're in Illinois to be with Shane's family all week. There is a good layer of snow on the ground and it was snowing more when we woke up this morning. Silas and I watched from inside as Shane sledded (Is that really how you put sled in past tense?) down the hill onto the lake behind his mom's house. Luther and Augustine thought it was great. It was about the funniest thing I had ever seen. One time Auggie jumped on Shane's back as Shane shot down the hill. I was laughing so hard Silas didn't know what to think. I just wish I had it on video!

Sunday night we opened presents with my parents over Skype. I am grateful to live in an age where Papa can read the Christmas story for us all to hear and then Nana and Papa can watch their grandson tear the wrapping paper off his first Christmas presents. Even from thousands of miles away. Honestly. We're blessed.
