Drawing by Ada Johnson

Right before the holidays, Beth, the kids, and I usually pose for a family portrait.  This year, though, we ran out of time.  So, I asked Jimmy and Ada if they would draw one instead.  They each created their own version of our family, and I love them both!  Thank you, Jimmy and Ada - these drawings are even better to me than a photo.  All of us - the JBG crew, me, Beth, Lila, Drew, Jimmy, and Ada (and Frankie & Roxie!) - would like to wish everyone happy holidays.  We look forward to growing for you in the New Year!
