Christmas time in the city

The first snow of winter. ��Pretty exciting!

Decked out in their Christmas duds. ��(Poor kid is always getting manhandled. ��My younger brother Jeff can insert his snide remark here:_____)

[P.S. ��Technical difficulties. ��Anyone know how to rotate the picture? ��I already rotated it in iPhoto (did I mention the love/hate relationship there?), but it's uploading as the original unrotated picture. ��Grrrr....]

Jumping on the Blogwagon

Well, in order to better update Grandy, Grannie Stannie, and the rest of our family and friends, we've finally made peace with 21st century technology (though I have a tumultuous love/hate relationship with iPhoto) and started a "weblog."  And for the record, this also counts as our annual Christmas letter - which we've never really done before anyway...

But rather than give the big ol' year long update, we're just going to post a few pictures and fill in the informational gaps from here on out.  

We'd love to hear from you as well.  Let me know if you want your blog/website included  on the little list over to the right there.  Pretty cool that they can do that.  And for free!  

Anyway, good to be back in the land of the updating...

Emmanuel!
