We’re back!

January 11, 2008

It’s been almost a week since we got back from our trip to Edmonton, and I feel like life has settled back down into the regular routines. It was great to see everyone, and wonderful to have such fantastic friends who were willing to go out of their way to make our visit special. But [...]
