Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season. Zach went back to New York the day after Christmas and Andrew, Avery & I headed out to Phoenix to spend time with friends. We had a great time with both the Utrup and the Beer families. We spent New Years there and also had a chance to catch up with some other friends while we were in town. That was also very nice! Everyone returned home on the 2nd just in time to head back to work and school. At home we took down the Christmas tree that was a bit dehydrated and brittle by the time we returned, so the house is starting to return to normal. We still really don't have internet yet, our neighbor has bee nso kind as to allow me to log on to his network. So at least I can have a little outside world communication, and most of you won't feel as though I am ignoring you! And once I am able I will start posting new pictures again. Thanks for your patience.
