The following are some notes I took last year on Christmas Day. I guess this may turn into a longer narrative about our wedding. We’ll see. Until then, these cryptic notes will have to do. Some comments from now are in _italics_.

It’s now December 25th. I’m writing this in the living room of my new in-laws. Leah, I and the kids are having a wonderful time.

Married.

New Name: JARC: Joseph Arthur Roberts Crawford _still have not done this_

4 New Stepchildren. Wow! _yeah, my reaction is still “WOW”_

I’m now an uncle.

I’m now a great-uncle.
