season's greetings

Music: 60 Minutes

Last week I received this rather inconspicuous holiday greeting photo from my dog Julius, his wife Amy, and their wee tot, Hayden. I promptly put it on the fridge, the spot where these things are destined to go. A day later I was cutting onions and, in a tearful moment, looked to my left where the greeting was . . . and through watery eyes I started admiring Hayden's hat. Then I realized something wasn't quite right. Take a closer look.

See, that's not a hat on Hayden's head. That's a wig! And then I noticed the greeting read, "Happy Holidays From Our Family, Love, Brian, Amy, and Elvis." Ah-ha! I just knew Julius would not descend to the norms of married-with-kids life. I'm so proud. As Reverand Juice, I married these two many years ago in a rather unconventional wedding. I'm thrilled to see that these two are still doing it their own way. Hayden is, incidentally, one of the cutest babies ever.

You can visit Julius' blog here for more updates and baby photos. And it seems to me the Beard's have really issued a challenge: Ok Ken and Christine, Jenny and Jon, let's see if you can top this!
