late in the night

here is our most recent family photo:

what a handsome bunch! i think it's definitely christmas card worthy.  everyone is in the picture and everyone is smiling which are basically the only two requirements for a christmas card, right?  we obviously have a good time together, even if we aren't actually in the same room.  we got to skype with riley sunday night at midnight boston time.  we were pretty tired, but it was so fun to talk to out favorite missionary.  he's loving thailand!  he's speaking the language like a champ, seeing all sorts of awesome buddhist temples, and holding exotic animals.  he's a pretty cool guy.  he's hoping the next 8 months crawl along, but i'm hoping they fly by for purely selfish reasons: i miss him so!
