Home for christmas

After a great flight to Chicago, arriving the one clear day between ice storm and snow, we have been enjoying some time with the boys, friends and relatives. BJ flew in from California and we hosted a Christmas dinner for nine, including new 5 week old cousin Beckum. I've spent lots of time using my credit card with all of the great sales and the Euro/dollar situation right now. We fly back to Amsterdam in a few days, and school starts again January 12th. Happy New Year one and all!
