From Makayla...to Tucker
Our darling niece, Makayla, found out it was Tucker's birthday and drew him a beautiful cake! When my in-laws were in Chicago during the holidays, she gave it to them to give to Tucker. Such a sweet gesture.

Merry Christmas, Happy Birthday and Happy New Year...a little late!
The past few weeks at work have been rather busy - requiring me to stay later than normal. By the time I get home, I have little to no energy to go online, let alone blog. I'm still loving my new job and I'm happy to report I have been there for more than three months - a record compared to my last two jobs :) Hey now, those jobs were after I was with another company for five+ years. It's all about finding the right fit and I feel very fortunate. I have been doing a rotation on the trading desk which means I don't get to leave my desk for many, if any breaks. Thankfully everyone is very nice and has a great sense of humor. Don't worry, it's not like "Wall Street" or "Boiler Room"! Oh, let's not forget about all the free food too! My first lunch on the desk consisted of warm turkey, warm beef, gravy, mashed potatoes, veggies, crab cakes, mac n cheese, salad, dessert, etc...
I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas! Ours was busy with last minute shopping, wrapping, and baking. What is it about the holidays that always causes one to embark on a mad dash to the finish line? Here is the photo we used for our holiday card this year - it was taken in October or November during a hike at Jerusalem Mill. I played around a little with PhotoShop to make the colors pop. We love going hiking in the fall! Tucker loves fall too since it means the weather is cooling down - you try hiking with lots of fur.
This is the other photo we used on our holiday card - Tucker will always be on our holiday card as long as he is a part of our family (hopefully for MANY years to come). Tucker turned 5 on December 26th. We spend lots of time wondering what he must have been like as a puppy. I bet he was rambunctious and loved giving kisses.
Lastly, Happy New Year and here's hoping 2011 is a wonderful year for everyone. I started the year out with a dreadful cold, but am looking forward to a new year.
