2010!

We've gotten pretty much back to normal already after the holidays. We stayed in AZ, and are thankful that we hadn't planned to go back to the snowy, icy, blizzardy, sub-zero midwest for Christmas. Whew, what a rough winter so far there!! We enjoyed having Aaron's brother Jason and his son Anson here on Christmas and for the following few days. The guys (including Lucas) went to a 'bassa-ball' game on Christmas after the airport pick-up, and Luke developed a new-found love for basketball. Just ask him, he'll tell you the story of the gorilla mascot with the Santa hat who jumped and made baskets ( all with 2 gestures and 4 words).

Grandma Becky and Grandpa Jerry spent the next several days with us. Another big score for the kids. Lots of attention, daily trips to the park, and a ton of yummy food. Way too much yummy food, actually. We all doubled our calorie intake with generous helpings of cheese dip and pumpkin pie.

Uncle Zach got back this week, and our routine has resumed. All is good.
