Well it has indeed been a while since I last shared a bit of life with you here on the blog. I hope you all had a very lovely Christmas and new year. We spent Christmas in Delaware with Tyler’s family and it was really great. We baked cookies, ate brie, went to see Les Miserables, watched snow fall the day after Christmas, and just had a genuinely good time being together. I also met a couple of kitties.
Meet Bob:
And Oscar:
We’d canceled our show that evening due to illness and meeting them was a nice pick me up on a sad day.
My sister’s husband’s family lives in Annapolis, MD, so she happened to be there visiting from California. I miss my sister desperately pretty much everyday. Annapolis is only about an hour and a half from Wilmington, DE, so we spent a day and half together. It was so nice. I’m always sad when she leaves, mostly because I know that sisters aren’t meant to be apart and that it’s very likely that we always will be. Her husband is an officer in the navy and they move every couple of years. Here we are together. Isn’t she beautiful?
I thought I had a picture or two of us with Tyler’s family, but apparently they are still on our camera and Tyler’s phone, neither of which are with me currently. I’ll give you a picture of Skyline Hill in the morning fog instead:
Oh how I love this place.
We returned home to Nashville a couple of days after Christmas. My parents drove up from Ft. Worth, TX for a few days and my grandparents came down from New York. We are such a scattered family. It was so nice to be with them for a bit. Tyler and I rent a basement apartment from my brother and sister-in-law. They have 8 month old twin boys, so most of our time was spent playing with and marveling at the little guys. In a world full of negativity they bring me so much hope.
Now, here we are in Nashville, recovering from a busy fall. We’re spending most of our days writing songs and answering emails. It’s so good to rest. We will be announcing new shows pretty soon. We’re looking forward to seeing many of you out on the road starting in February.
How was your Christmas?
