holiday wrap-up

Well, of course we have tons to write about, but in the meantime playing catch-up seems appropriate.

Boise, with a full-family holiday session, was lovely. Mama and Papa had all five of their "kids" together, which happens too rarely, and we had lots of fun bickering, laughing, talking and eye-rolling at each other. Pictures can be found here.

Snowshoeing! We managed to get out once, with Amy, who is a committed cross-country skier. She allowed as to how snowshoeing was fun, too, though, and even wants to go again.

For the second half of the holiday season, we flew to Las Vegas, to spend New Year's with David's family. (Really, it's the only draw to Vegas, since we're poor gamblers and disenchanted by the growth in the city.) Of course, I managed to be sick the entire time we were there, lying in bed moaning to myself and reading an interesting, though rather biased, book about the Byzantine Empire. David had tons of fun scanning in old family photos and documents and is now seriously considering buying a scanner so he can continue the fun.

And now we're back in Pittsburgh, starting the new, and last, semester. Excitement for all!
