Merry Christmas!

Wow~I have finally started a blog! In my mind Michael will be interested in this blog and decide to post to it as well, but I am feeling doubtful. I decided that I've got some material after being home for Christmas and seeing family, friends, and my adorable niece. My sweet new camera (thanks, Dad!) will hopefully make this easier. Here we are enjoying a few presents from John and Sally. They spent their day flying up to Maine and meandering around LLBean. We missed them, but we know they're having fun in the snow.

We heard from Charlie today. Here is a fun picture of him on the ship. Michael was also able to talk with Quinn in Iraq and Charlie N. (in Arlington!) which was nice.

One of the highlghts of the trip has been seeing everyone in Arlington. Here are a few good shots.
