Seagulls and cousins

A quick trip to the beach yielded some of the finest smiles of 2010. Whether it was a gecko on cousin Andrew's shirt, seagulls plucking bread crusts from Ellie's hand or Aunt Jean blowing sand from David's eye, we all had a joyful time on Florida's gulf coast.

Christmas in Wisconsin

Greetings all!

For those who were following the car repair saga just before our departure, our generous contribution to Northfield's car care gurus allowed for a safe and uneventful journey over the river and through the woods to Amma and Papa's house in Wisconsin. Here we have been enjoying cured meats, strong coffee and loads of quality family time.

On Wednesday we take to the skies off to Florida and a week of more family in the sunshine.
