Ok, ok. I sat here at my computer in Ukraine and watched Stirling "help" his father decorate their Christmas tree via video link on instant messaging. My daughter did some written commentary since the video has no sound.
But it was wonderful.
Kara told me he was into everything, going through all the ornaments, looking at this and that. I could see from his face that he was really excited. Between Stirling and his dad, John, I'm not sure who was really the most excited, though. Kara told me at one point Stirling took a long garland and laid it out from the living room into his bedroom and it became a train. I immediately thought of Polar Express because I watched it with Stirling so often last year that I have it fairly well memorized.
They also have some gifts for us that they are going to mail, late yes, but we pray we will get them ok like we got the other boxes I wrote about, even if it is in January. :) Stirling brought each present to in front of the camera and showed it to me, turned it over, showed me the back - all with a very serious face and many glances at his computer screen to see what he and the present looked like. He also showed me one of the candy canes they put on the tree. John, on the other hand, held up several of the ornaments in the same way so I could see them up close. The trout/fish was rather unusual... hahhahahah.
I didn't get to bed until after 1 in the morning, though, so I am dragging a bit this morning.
I need more coffee...
