A very Merry Christmas Brian and everyone else.

It's always been my favorite but watching "It's a Wonderful Life" brought more tears than usual this year. It truly is wonderful.

What beautiful children!

Oh Pooter your smile is just fine. Goodness it looks symmetrical to me... Your can even see your upper teeth. What a nice looking family! So many blessings you have  … but most important blessings are those little ones.

Peace
