Christmas Card Greetings

...from the Round Rock branch of the family. .

A Christmas card came today from our eldest son and his family who live in Round Rock, also known as the home of Dell Computer. If you've never been there, yes, there is actually a round rock in the middle of Brushy Creek that runs through downtown and it is an official Texas historical site. The town is also home to the famous Round Rock Donuts that have been featured on numerous travel and cooking shows--the donuts are yellow. A Saturday morning trip to get donuts is a regular thing for Aidan and Alexander.

Adam (who works for a computer services company) and Heather (who teaches 8th grade in the Round Rock ISD) have given us two grandsons. Aidan, who just turned six years old, and Alexander who'll be four late in January. As you can tell from the picture, Aidan has recently lost two teeth and received an appropriate visit from the tooth fairy. He prefers reading books (about space flight and science), while Alexander likes drawing on his magic sketch pad on which he has mastered the names of way more geometric shapes than I ever have. How many three year olds know how to draw a trapezoid or a rhombus or a decahedron? Okay, so I'm biased about my smart grandchildren

What precious treasures our families are to us. I love my family and love getting pictures. If you need a reason to be in touch with your family, this is the season. Let them know how much they mean to you.

Blessings,
Ken
