Chad's card

Most of the blog ink goes to Hudson, for obvious reasons. Hudson's accomplishments take center stage, as they ought.

But this photo, of the little fellow and his Dad, is from Chad's Holiday card this year and demonstrates, by existing at all and then by landing in my mailbox, that the accomplishments of the Dad are pretty remarkable too.

In a year that included a 1st birthday attended by masses, a dedication too, unbelievable travels to - truly - the earth's far corners and the mad day-to-day of raising a fine little man - Chad's exhibited enormous spirit, never once called Uncle.

Then he goes and manages to get out a card, on top of all of that - holiday cards being as good an indicator of organization as we have.

So here's to the father, growing and shining right along side his son.

Wishing them both a year of nice naps and sweet dreams.

With love
