I’m sitting in the kitchen of my in-laws. Jack is playing with Playmobile pirates on the floor and Ann is taking a shower before we head up to Boston to visit friends for New Year’s. My in-laws are sitting half-asleep in their chairs with the TV on. On TV are two women on QVC hawking bras talking about how we all know how breasts get lower as we all get older. “I know my neck is getting longer,” says one. A truly special family moment.

Jack’s school had their Christmas concert tonight. A stage full of children aged 2-5 singing. It was, depending on your perspective, incredibly cute or downright frightening. Personally, I loved it. I joined the “Preschool Paparazzi” and set up the video camera in the balcony amid all of the other parents and their cameras. Ann sat below with the still camera and snapped this and other pictures. Here they are singing and acting out Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. I believe this is the international sign for antlers.
