Tonight, the kids dove headlong into the task of assembling this year's holiday mailing. Tasks mastered include:
  • stamps in the upper-right corner,
  • from labels in the upper-left,
  • to labels in the middle,
  • folded letters stuffed inside,
  • verifying that Daddy didn't forget the picture,
  • licking the envelope shut, and
  • hand-inscribing their initial on the flap.
While they still relied on adult assistance for supplies (stamps, mailing labels, envelopes, and crayons), content (picture-taking and letter-writing), folding, and occasional placement advice, they're a remarkably self-sufficient mailing operation.

In short, when you get your card this year, be sure to turn it over before opening to see who did all the fine craftsmanship you're enjoying. They're quite proud of their work, and justifiably so!

In what's becoming a de facto family tradition, today marks the third consecutive year that we've placed our order for holiday cards exactly eight days before the main event.

Note that we didn't actually mail many of them out last year, so if you didn't get yours, let us know by early next week ... and we'll send you both!

One of the advantages of having twins this age is that you can often leave them to play with each other. For example, this weekend we helped Bryn and Maya dig out some random letters from under the fridge, then escaped to another room.

So within a few minutes, what do we overhear? Bryn's voice chirping "L, O, V, E ... that spells love."

Of all the letters for her to pluck out and make into a word, she couldn't have done any better!
