Doctors, Christmas and other goings on...

Christmas this year (and December) have flown by.  G successfully defended his dissertation and is now Doctor G (congrats!).  It was a pretty big deal for us and meant that he would graduate and need a job.  So instead of decorating for Christmas like in years past 

with pretty sparkling ornaments and the usual decor

our apartment became consumed with moving boxes....

And on a very snowy day, we rented a Uhaul, filled it up and moved in with the in-laws while we wait for G to find a job (come on, Memphis!)  It was fun to spend Christmas with Grandma and Grandpa, especially for our little babe, who enjoys having so much attention from people besides Mum and Dad.  And we look forward to the coming year and all the adventures ahead of us.

 

Winter Wonderland

On our way home from Denver this week, this is what we saw looking out the window before take off

And on our taxi out to the runway the army of snow plows

I was pretty glad we were flying.

After we got above the mess I noticed a faint but nice little circular rainbow.  You'll have to look close to see it (G said the picture just looks like there's something wrong with the camera, so look for that spot.)

I missed taking a picture of the other airplane in the skies with us for awhile; it looked like a little toy airplane off in the distance.  And unfortunately, we only took a few pics while we were actually in CO, and they all have the babe in them, so no posting of those.  But needless to say, it was a fun trip and we hope we can go back soon!

Bread Elitists

I made some rolls/buns a bit ago (a pretty regular occurrence at our house) but I only used white flour.  Not the usual whole wheat.  G said he must be turning into a bread elitist because he actually prefers the rolls with the freshly ground wheat.  Seriously?  Who wouldn't like to chow down on some of this?
