If you got our Christmas card and wondered what we look like nowadays, here's our most recent family picture. I send a letter because I don't mind if you read my letter and throw it away. However, I would feel very unhappy if you threw away my picture. I'm just superstitious that way.

Mark asked for a short disclaimer on the facial hair. I encouraged him to grow a beard while we were on vacation in September and he still had it when we took our portrait in November. He wanted to shave it, but I liked it so much I asked him not to. Thus, the red beard. It only lasted a few more weeks and then it started to make kissing him really unpleasant.

Here we are - don't we look festive?
