December the 20th
Megan and Leo came over this afternoon to hang out. After they left Henry settled down to watch a little pre-nap Elmo/Stomp on the TV while I checked my email real quick. When I went back out to the living room there was no Henry to be found. I called out his name, heard a thump-thump-thump overhead, and headed over to the staircase to see what he was up to. He started coming downstairs asking "Megan go? Megan go?" Apparently he was searching high and low for Megan. I told him she went home and he said "Megan went home," somewhat forlornly. He perked up though when I mentioned we'd be seeing her again tonight.
This evening we're all going over to visit Mr. L at the nursing home with a big tin full of Christmas cookies. Giving up the tin is quite the sacrifice for Henry because he loves using it as a drum. The lid has lots of little dents all over it. After that, we'll have some dinner, open some presents, put the kid to bed, then hopefully watch Mr. Bean's Christmas special, which I haven't seen in a couple of years. Maybe Dave'll agree to rent "Love Actually" (or is it "Love, Actually"?) and we can have a snuggle on the couch. What are the chances?

Maybe you should watch White Christmas instead... then Dave will find out the true meaning of "I want to wash my hands, my face and hair with snow... Snow!
It's snowing like crazy here. Forget VT. All you need to do is come on back to Massachusetts --- oooooh more song lyrics! Ouch.

The sun came out here today. Sigh.

don't feel too bad, we are in chicago, land of snow, and it is 38F and what little snow there is has been melting away.
