we survived this week!

Oh yes, we managed to make it through this very long, hard week. The death of a beloved church member, along with the funeral and other services involved. The funeral in the middle of a snowstorm. The Christmas pageant, along with the lunch afterwards. General life with kids, who always seem to pick on the stress of their parents. It's good to hit Sunday night without losing our minds.

The pageant went well. Isaac was an adorable shepherd. This photo was the only one I got without the crook in front of his face. Norah was an angel. She wandered down the aisle right after this photo was taken, sayin g "see Daddy, I go see Daddy". At which point, pretty much the whole church stopped listening to Rob and "oohed" over Norah. These aren't great shots, but they were all I could get while holding Ruby, directing the kids, and leading the songs. Norah, however, is convinced she was a princess, not an angel.
