If you look at my blog you might think that time has been standing still since mid-December. It's only an illusion I'm afraid - we've been shopping, cooking, eating, laughing, celebrating and enjoying life. Here is a quick update. Alicia helped me wrap-up Christmas (pun intended) as we traveled all over finishing the shopping, etc. We had a quick visit from our Turkish friends (subject for a future blog perhaps), Emily had a fun Christmas cookie baking party with friends, our Christmas program at church was so nice (and included a beautiful flute duet - 1/2 of which was provided by Cara) . Christmas Eve found us eating our traditional Clam Chowder (I'm prepared to put my up against Dad's - I guess it should taste just as good it is his recipe after all!), and receiving the traditional Christmas PJ's.
