First of all, I'd like to thank Paul for finally posting something on our blog (see below).
Lots has happened in our lives in the past month! We had a great first Christmas and a fun New Years. We loved having a break from school- but now we are back to the grind.
Here are some pics from the past month.
Paulie had shoulder surgery to repare his AC Joint which he hurt in high school and last year in college. He is still recovering :)

Paul and I went on a nice winter walk on Christmas Eve. We visited the Olsons and then came back. Fresh air was good for that very sore man.
Paul got a GPS from Santa and so we've taken up a new hobbie of GEOCACHING!!!!
This was the second "treasure" we ever found. We love taking other people with us. We've gone with my family, Irelynd, Camie and Cody and were planning on going tomorrow with Donna.
Paul and I went to Body Worlds with Mindy and Jason- which was awesome.
We also went to a Jazz game in December (thanks to Mindy and Jason) that was awesome too. But I dont have pictures from those things.
Since Paul and I aren't planning on any little ones any time soon-- we just love spending time with our nieces and nephews. Here are babies Will and Luke in their matchy Christmas PJs.

This was todays art project- or as Val put it our "crafternoon". This is for a project Paul is doing for his history of creativity class. These are all very creative dudes from 1500- Now. See if you can figure out who they are. And if you have suggestions for other creative people, you can give leave a comment for those too!
(Alexander Graham Bell wasn't quite finished when we took this pic- so I hope Donna doesn't feel left out).

Anyway, Merry Christmas, Happy New Years and Happy Martin Luther King Day tomorrow!
