Rain or Shine

If the children are awake when John leaves, they race him off to work while I wave from the warm indoors.  This race involves children in pajamas and winter boots (but only if we're lucky-- half the time it's socks or bare feet, even in snow).

I try to keep the girls from coddling Zeke overmuch, but sometimes zealous racing results in a snowy faceplant, and they trundle him indoors in a makeshift stretcher.
