A Road Less Travelled

Hooray! Our computer is mostly up and running. It’s sort of up and jogging. Or maybe power walking. Seth and Crystal bought two new hard drives so that we can regularly back up our hard drive just in case our computer tries to do this again. I have several posts trying to come out at once, but they are all far too serious for such a mood as mine. So I will leave you with this pleasant scene.

Tonight we decorated our Christmas tree. Crystal sat with the ornament box and the older four clustered around her while Justice poked Seth in the eyes. I helped Noah put some of the soft ornaments on the tree and it was such a joy. One by one we decorated our tree with stuffed bells, funny pom pom creatures, wooden soldiers and nutcrackers, a drum Seth made when he was in kindergarten, gingerbread men made by my sister, sparkly stars, a clown and so many more. I took Justice from Seth so he could put the tree topper in his place of glory. That’s right, a plaid, stuffed Cthulhu. We stood back and looked at our handiwork. I think Seth’s comment says it all. “Yep, that’s a Ben-Ezra tree.”
