Current Music:"Darlin' (Christmas Is Coming)" Over The Rhine (Karin's Acoustic Sketches)
Ilove all these little moments of the nieces getting older and more aware of what's going on around them, and taking part in life in new and fun ways.
The other day, this meant Grace talking to me on the phone and now being old enough to be conspiratorial regarding Christmas presents: of stealing away from everyone else with the phone, and excitedly whispering to me what she had made at school as a Christmas present for Mom and Dad. I can't get the fun and drama that was in her voice out of my head, as she really took part in the sheer anticipation of surprising someone else with a Christmas gift. One more moment of love in the world.
Oh, yes, it's a great album, if you are referring to Snow Angels, like I think you are. But it actually came out two years ago. I caught them a year ago in November, passing through town, and doing a more-or-less Christmas tour highlighting that music. Fabulous time, and a fabulous recording. Worth picking up, as per my next entry.
