Merry Epiphany!
Yes, Epiphany. You know, The Twelve Nights of Christmas? OK, we didn’t actually plan to send an Epiphany letter but events conspired against our best –laid plans. We began writing this letter just after driving back from a Thanksgiving visit with Brad’s mom and brothers in Washington, DC. We planned to drive to Dallas for Christmas (… you may not appreciate the gravity of these two sentences, so let’s be clear: we actually planned drives of 650 and 800 miles with our 1 and 3-year-old daughters. If you hadn’t come to this conclusion, you now have unambiguous proof that we are, in fact, craxy!) If you are anything like us, you ALWAYS forget at least one thing you had planned to bring. The best you can do is hope that what you forget is non-essential – you can always buy what you need, right? Wrong. On December 20, with the Expedition full of diapers, luggage, a portable DVD player, Christmas letters and half a sleigh full of gifts we began our westward journey. It wasn’t until somewhere near Tuscaloosa that we realized what we’d forgotten. It was the one thing we could not buy in Dallas: the picture of Isabelle and Amelia for our letter. So enjoy the picture and have a merry… Epiphany.
