Happy Holidays from Vegas



Hi gals,

Just writing to wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas. We're enjoying the season, especially the weather here right now...I still haven't worn a coat! But, we'll be headed for Salt Lake for Christmas, so we pulled out the winter clothes and Halle had to try everything on (see picture). Caleb is 2 months old now and weighing in at a hefty 13 pounds, and is sweet as can be. Hope you're all doing well...it was fun to hear from you Liz--Congrats on the new babe, I would love to see a picture. Would love to hear from some of the rest of you too!

Happy Holidays!

Merry Christmas from DC

Hey everyone, Thanks Kristen, or whoever it was that put a link to my website. It's been unchanged for over a year now...I don't remember last time I wrote on here, but James and Benson and I moved to DC in September. We are renting this cute little house in Falls Church, VA. I really like the neighborhood and it's a short commute for James into the city. We're getting to know neighbors and friends, but I'm still looking for a running partner. If I find a good one, I want to run the Marine Corps marathon next October. Anyone moving out here?

Four weeks ago I had our second little boy. William was born Nov. 15 and was 8 lbs 2oz. and 23.25 inches long. He is long and skinny - a little string bean. Benson just turned two and it's an adjustment for him, but he's doing well. The worst he's done so far is tell Will to "Go to sleep!" when he wants my undivided attention. I'll try to post a picture. So now I am antsy to run and looking for a running buddy. Although when I'll go, I'm not sure. Maybe I'll look into the double running stroller. If anyone is visiting the area, let me know. You can crash here or just stop by for a chat. It's a fun place to live. Everyone have a wonderful holiday!
