I never get a chance to blog and I am losing so many precious memories about my kids. Unfortunately our camera was lost on our Seattle trip. Fortunately I looked at the pictures of Nate and the four oldest kids going to see wicked before it was gone. I want to remember how they looked on he stairs of he paramount theater and Emma and Merian posing like the wicked poster.

I also want to remember the video of how Norah insisted on holding the cockroach at the pacific science center. She didn't even flinch. I think she was more confident than Derek.

It's after midnight. I just finished wrapping Christmas presents. I'm typing his on our iPod. I'm not going back to proofread.
