I heart vacation

While spending a few days in Venice over Christmas was a real treat, it was equally nice to have a few days of down time at home after getting back. Despite all of us having colds over the long weekend, we still managed to squeeze in a nice lunch with The Big Finn and Mrs TBF, neither of whom we had seen in ages...



...Gretchen got a haircut, which Baby got to watch...



...Baby tried solid food (mashed carrots) for the first time, about which she seemed to have mixed feelings...



...and we got together for brunch with friends Jeff and Marlis...



...wait a second, did I say I had a few days of down time? Forget that--I'm exhausted! It must be time to get back to work tomorrow.
