Hello everyone,
Yes, yes, I will use the excuse of “I’m way too busy during the holidays” and “way busy with work” for the reason why I haven’t posted on here in so long.
To summarize our life’s goings-on since then, what can I say. We had thanksgiving in Atlanta with Amy and Nate, which was yummy. Nate always smokes a mean turkey. While we were there, we began our house hunting in Atlanta! Ben Yin is our realtor and took us to see 21 houses in 2 days! I’m really just using him as our realtor so I can spend more time with him =). For Christmas, we went to Dallas to spend a week with Nicole’s mom, and we all stayed at Aunt Jeannie’s house. Man, I forgot what vacation was all about! A week of lounging around, spending time with family, and seeing more of my son than I’ve seen since he was born! It was great! Barb is doing pretty well – she has finished 6 rounds of tough chemo, and now on something that she tolerates better, so she feels “like a person again”. We had so many visitors to see Barb and Hudson…they are so loved! And for New Year’s, we were back in Durham and Jenny and Jeff and the kids came to visit us! That was a lot of fun too, and the kids all got to play together…even though we all had colds! =( Well, now its back to the grind with work. Even though I’m not wanting to go back to work, its only 1 more month of interview season for us and then finally work can slow down to a more normal pace.
We’re doing well overall! New Year’s Resolutions, you ask? I haven’t made mine yet…but there’s an interesting website that will help you keep them when you make them, and I think maybe Nicole and I will try it.

At Andy’s annual Christmas Party (Dec 23), I also found out that Bryan got engaged! Congratulations Bryan and Jessica! My high school friends are all growing up…Vadin, Aarish, and Danny, you guys are next…
Finally, we have had a couple of professional photography sessions – one for maternity pictures, and one for Christmas pictures. I especially love the Christmas ones, taken at the Carolina Inn on a cold, wintery day at UNC. See the links below (one in December 2009, and one in September 2009).
