Recently:

We're still here, let's just say the first two weeks of December could be summed up in one word...FINALS.  Gross!  I'm glad to have some quality time with Scott now that doesn't include words like "quantitative research" and "AP Style".

My little brother snapped some backyard shots of us all geared up for winter (for Christmas cards). I like this one (and we like our X mugs from Pier 1).

Other non-homework happenings:
We have been updating a journal we keep- it was a Christmas gift from Scott last year:

We write down quick one-liners about what went on during the month.  It is fun to go back and remember funny inside jokes and things.  We fell behind so we have been working to get it up to date.

My view for the last five nights:

My fingers are tender but it has been good.


We have also been able to see a lot of family recently- can't beat that.  Merry Christmas to all of you! Hope you have a wonderful week!
