Reflection on the holidays

Now that it is all over, I can take time to reflect and say that I had a wonderful Christmas and New Years with the whole family! Spending time with Dominic was, of course, a highlight and it was amazing to see how much he had grown since the last time I saw him (Aug 08). Skype is the greatest of technologies but just not the same as giving a hug and a kiss in person...! It was so much fun playing with and running after Dominic (or having Dominic chase me) and watching his inquisitive nature take everything in. Mathias & PL, thanks for coming out this way... it is always so great to see you as well and here's to many more visits! Love you all!!

happy 2009
