Yep, we made a break for sunnier climes this Christmas – we took the whole family to Manzanillo, Mexico for a warm weather Christmas. Even so, as we sat on the beach and watched the kids play in the sand and the surf, our thoughts turned to our family and friends. We’d like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and all the best in the coming New Year. As we heard it in Mexico:
Feliz Navidad y próspero Año Nuevo

Most every family seems to have a door frame like this in their home somewhere. This is a small portion of the trim around the door to our basement. At irregular intervals, each of the kid’s heights are recorded so that we can marvel at how quickly they grow.
On Saturday, Alyssa spontaneously decided it was time to see how tall she’s gotten, and in due course, the boys current heights were added too. Each of them has grown at least a couple of centimeters since the last measurements were made in April. They’re not our little babies anymore!
After the three new heights were recorded, the kids wanted to see if my height had changed. So I stood against the doorframe and we discovered that there had been no change whatsoever in my height. When I expressed dismay that I hadn’t grown, while they all had, Alyssa informed me that, “Of course you aren’t getting taller; you drink coffee, and that stunts your growth!”
