M E R R Y C H R I S T M A S !!!

I am blessed to have spent another Christmas with Megan, and her TWO lovely children.

We are ALL blessed.

We have done our best this holiday season to transcend family rifts, to soothe hurt feelings, to mend the damage of the past, to rejoice in the gift of life and love.

Here is a picture of Larry holding Randy. He was fussing, and Larry rocked him and plopped his pacifier in his mouth, and we rubbed his head. Instant sleep.

Tonight Megan is going out with her friends, and Larry and I are babysitting.

I feel like I have not had enough time with working two jobs, the holidays, and being sick, to spend as much quality time with everyone as I would have liked to, but I am glad for what I have had.

I hope your holidays were blessed too...

Patti, Larry, Megan, Alanna, Randy and Dole
