How do you talk to your kids about molestation? -- I had a long talk with Alex this morning, because of this video.

Are you a bargain shopper? -- I'm not. But I hate shopping, so it's rare that I shop anyway.

Are you okay with pulling your kids out of school? -- For us, it's a case-by-case kinda thing.

I love your family portrait tradition! Every year I wait for the ornament shot! Lovely.

You know what, Karen? Every time I see a picture of you and your family, I get the distinct impression that we'd like each other very, very much.

I love it! The tree picture with the solar flare is totally inspired. Hoping to decorate my tree today and we like to make sure every branch has something on it!

I really need to learn how to use my camera properly.

we are decorating our tree tonight and I am excited.

Thanks for giving me some visual holiday cheer. I wanna see that painting behind the tree. (Too.)

That is so not what I would have expected your tree to be like, but I love the festive exuberance.
