Christmas in Chicago has brought every kind of major weather- 2 days of snow, freezing rain, flood warnings. We've hunkered down in the house with the fake clay fireplace logs burning steadily. Everyone is up to their usual hobbies. Richard talking about quitting the law firm to start a surf camp for missionary children. Must learn to surf first--not a serious obstacle. Dad reading through retirement property listings with huge magnifying glass. Mom cooking and talking about her work with refugee families recently settled here. All trying to find gifts for the nieces and nephews that they don't already have and calling from Target to confirm. "Does Noah have a transformer that looks like a tank?" "Hmmm..." "How about a green fighter jet?"
"Yes, Summer is very into pretend, but she has everything the store would have." "Actually, we do already have a big bean bag toss game. There's not much room for it next to the giant bounce house we just put in the basement."
It's actually nice and quiet. I hope you all are having peaceful days with your families.
