Christmas Past

Wow! I can't believe it's been so long. Between work and the holidays, I feel like I'm just catching my breath. And my internet has been acting up, so it's been impossible to get on long enough to write anything, let along post pictures. After 2 odd workweeks, Chris is headed back to a normal week tomorrow. The advantage of a small company is that everyone took a vacation day on the 26th, in addition to the holidays on Christmas Eve and Day. So we were able to relax with family here and points south of the river. It was great spending time with Chris's family and see some of his cousins. Chris's parents have a new dog, a miniature poodle named Scooter. He isn't shaved like a poodle, but looks like a little lamb. But he is loud, no inside voice on that dog. We ended up drying lots of tears for Josh. Whenever he ran across the room or got up suddenly, Scooter would yap at him. But by the end, Josh was dealing with it better and he even picked out a present for Scooter to give him the next time we're down there.
