Holiday Greetings-Love the Prestons

Tuesday ran an easy 2.5-3 mile loop.  Decided to add some speed to the workouts on Wednesday and that seems to be the plan to make every Wednesday a speed workout.  Thursday was a nice 4 miles at an easy pace.  Friday was a 3-4 mile run through Breakhart while Maggie got her "Tumble On" at gymnastics.   The plan for the weekend is to do a 10 mile run with the other members of the MDSC team in Medford.  

This weekend is also when we begin the wonderful, heartwarming and beautiful process of taking the Christmas Card photo.   In the past we have also used this time as sort of an impromptu renewal of our wedding vows.   That is, of course, if our vows consisted of "You're not doing anything to help," or "You're the worst picture taker in the world," or "G** Dammit make them smile," and my favorite is simply "Do Something."  Aaah good times, good times.  The problem is we took a great picture of Maggie and Nellie for our first ever Xmas card photo that it's been hard to top that.  We also have the law of diminishing returns working against us as the longer we keep the kids out there posing for the camera the more antsy they become and the more agitated Pam becomes at me (primarily because I'm in the antsy category alongside the kiddies.)  We're just going to keep snapping photos until we eventually find one we can live it.  Next year it's a fruitcake and a handwritten note to all.....
