The holiday season is here, and I have more than most to be thankful for. So much, in fact, it&#8217;s almost impossible to put into words everything that is in my heart and mind. I have a beautiful, loving wife, two daughters that mean more to my very being than any words [...]]]></description>

Of course, by the time Sofi got that thought into and out of her head she was in my arms in the guest bedroom door-frame and Natalie was in Mama&#8217;s arms in our bathroom door-frame, and just like that both girls survived their first earthquake &#8211; no worse for wear.
