Catching Up

So after a few initial posts, we got caught up in traveling and the holidays. We had fun in LA--warm, sunny weather, outdoor basketball, waves at the beach, chinese dumplings, presents, family and friends. Came back to brutally cold weather, the restart of Ben and Emma's school, lots and lots of sports activities, and "Guitar Hero: World Tour" . Emma's hockey team doing great--7 wins, 3 losses, and 1 tie. Ben's bball has lost a couple of close ones, but is playing hard and very well together against tough competition. Hopefully, we'll be able to put up some video taken with Emma's new flip camera. All for now--just wanted to mark the fact that we are alive and well...and that more will be on the way.
