New Year

I know it has been quite a while since the last post. At least I know Kristi checks this blog once in a while. I just wanted to say how nice it was to have everyone at Mom and Dad's on the 23rd. It was especially great to see Kristi and Brian's family there. All we needed was Angie and Dave's family and we would have had 100%. Their moving to Chicago the same week was a pretty good excuse though.

Congratulations to Joe on his new Job. I know after I had been out of work for a long period of time, it was like a rejuvenation to finally get hired on at Progressive. Hopefully Joe will feel able to share some of his new experiences on this site so we can all enjoy his growth together.

Mom's chocolates were amazing as usual and we tore through them quickly. It's great to have Angie joining in on the dipping as well. Now we can have twice the supply!

The modifications to Dad's shower looks like they will work perfectly. Thanks to whoever came up with the ideas and got them implemented. I know anything we can do to help Dad preserve his independence and his dignity will go a long way.

Hope everyone is doing great, and enjoying getting back to school, work and all the rest.
