Here's our holiday update:
Daisy:  May be pregnant. If so, she’s due Christmas
Day.  So far we haven’t visited the vet to confirm – we prefer to be
surprised.
Lily:  Her greatest dream is doing a million cartwheels
in a row.  Her worst dream is walking into a dark hallway or room
alone.  
Sam:  Got a “flip” phone for his 13th birthday. 
It’s lost now.  It’s amazing how quickly our kids have lost their flip
phones over the years – I guess they've never been cool.  But since it plays into our "your'e not responsible enough to have a 'smart' phone" argument, I don't mind.
Zach:  California Dreamin’.  The grass is greener
on the other side.  Can he get a ride with anyone?
Anna:  Sister of the Year recipient – gets her sister
up; does her sister’s hair; helps her sister with breakfast; guards her sister
in dark hallways and rooms.
Josh:  Last seen in Utah.  May be in France. 
Missing for three months.  (Spent money he needed for a winter coat on a "Christmas" suit.)
Scottie:  Last seen in Utah.  May still be in
Utah.  Missing for three months.
Jill:  Love/hate relationship with quiet house (kids at
school) and chaotic house (any other time).  Favorite pretend movie of the
year:  anything Hallmark.  Favorite actual movie of the year: 
Instant Family.
Scott:  Still working on New Year’s resolutions set 20
years ago: (1) Regain that size 34 waist (by "regain" I actually don't actually mean "gain" weight); (2) Don't live sports' dreams thru kids; and (3) Less sarcasm.
We love you all!
