Returning to work was like jumping into a cold pool. It's been a bit of a shock returning to reality after days of leisure in snowy Denver. We're slowly readjusting and even more slowly returning to blog posts. I still haven't downloaded our photos and am ever so lazy! I did get some photos from Heather O. out in Colorado with whom we spent New Year's Eve. Her parents very kindly allowed us to stay at their beautiful condo in the mountains and we celebrated the New Year playing cards and eating triple cream cheese. It was calm and mellow excepting Shane's wild ride on a mini bison. I've spent a few minutes and have worked up a frustration sweat trying to get the mini bison ride photo to rotate. I think you'll get the idea even if you have to crank your head to see it. Before the weekend is through, I'll add more details and photos of Mahalia's first Christmas at Grandma and Grandpa's house.
