Happy 2008!

This last week has been a whirlwind of fun - we started off the week by jumping on a plane last Saturday to fly up to Boston to attend an college friend's wedding in Stowe, MA. The wedding was lovely, but over too quickly and we boarded another plane the next morning to return home. Amy was very thankful that we managed to miss the huge snowstorm that arrived shortly after our departure as she really didn't want to be stranded up there! We travelled on Southwest, so didn't get to sit together on the way home, but Amy sat by the most interesting lady who was from Vermont, but had owned a silk-screening business down in the West Indies islands for 20 years. Folks have the most interesting life stories to share once you get them chatting!

Arriving that same day from Boston (they had attended the same wedding) were Korey and Rachel (Karis' brother and wife). As many of you know, Rachel is also the sister of our close friend, Rob Deininger. So we had great fun this week visiting with them, and the nephews were delighted to have personal "play" representatives all the way from California! We did lots of fun things this week - ranging from going to see "ICE!" (Brr, it was 9 degrees in that exhibit of ice sculptures - very brisk!), Cirque du Soleil's La Nouba (sans children for that one!), and to SeaWorld. Karis had the week off, and Amy had half of the week off, so it will be a shock to our systems to be back at work full-time - if only we'd win the lottery....(I guess that would mean we'd need to play the lottery, but don't confuse us with details! :)
