Hiatus

Sorry for the long hiatus - I can't believe Jan 1st was the last time I posted! Really, it's because there's not been too much to share. Lots of work, lots of snow (yay!) and lots of sitting in front of the fireplace (some of us closer than others). Everyone has been well, Barkley Bear has had a few wobbles here and there, but some tweaks in her medication have sorted it through. Brandon twisted his knee last weekend when we went with our friends to Lost Valley, a ski area just an hour away. He's healing, but the snow shoveling isn't helping him....:)

And in just over a week we're off to Hawaii, mostly for a vacation, but I do have a day or two of work to do as well. We'll stay on Oahu with our friends Jenny and Doug for most of the time, but will do a 5 day hop around the Big Island. From there though Brandon flies home and I fly to China on a ten day work trip. I'll be choosing next years Chinese students to come to our Semester by the Sea at the Darling Center. So exciting, i've never been to China ever and our school director found a day in the schedule for me to take a tour of Xiamen and of Shanghai!

So lots of things coming up, including a big Nor-Easter on Thursday threatening even more snow! We're just about out of places on the driveway to put it at this point!
