When asked at school this week to recall a memorable moment, our middle daughter Kellyn wrote about this one. In hindsight, I think it was more magical than memorable. A couple years ago, as Kellyn and I were running through the woods behind our house, a deer came right up to us and ran alongside. We’ve always recognized what an extraordinary connection to animals Kellyn has, but this was ridiculous. I got this picture on my cell phone at the end of the run, as we emerged into our yard. Yes, Kellyn is actually petting it. Deer aren’t supposed to let you do this…Unless? Could this have been a summer Rudolph sighting?
