First Snow
Well...you can tell that I went back to work, because everything else has gone to the wayside...blogging included :) Today was our first real snow-day in Bend, and I'm loving it. This is truly my favorite time of year...but it was a bit hard to get in the spirit without the white stuff. John and I trekked out with Nina and Jack in tow, to cut down our eigth Christamas tree together. It was glorious in Bend this morning...about 6 inches dusted the ground, trees and manzanita bushes. With the full moon last night and sunshine this morning, it is easy to forget about the minor mishaps of everyday life. I hope this finds everyone enjoying their Saturday and a few peaceful moments amidst the chaos.

Thanksgiving this year took us over the river and through the woods (literally) to the cabin, our family cabin at Tahoe. Mom and Dad hosted, Miss Nina loved her first Turkey Day and John & I survived the 8 hour drive :) It was so nice to just relax and enjoy hikes with the fam. The construction is really making progress...and Dad is a wonderful project manager! This year we have so much to be thankful for...John's dad's surgery went amazingly well, Nina is healthy and happy, our families are in good health and we both have good jobs in this rough economy :0)
