Home Again

We are all home now, and glad to be here. Neal got back to Kansas City the night after Christmas and was welcomed by 12 inches of snow (the most snow that has ever been on the ground at one time since I've lived here). He spent 2 hours the next day shoveling our extra-long driveway.

Sally and I arrived home the night of the 29th. Thankfully there were no airport incidents to report. Neal had a bouquet of flowers waiting for us, as well as a clean and orderly house (he really surpassed my expectations!).

The morning after we were all together again, we opened the presents that we didn't take with us and enjoyed a low-key day at home, and Neal took Sally out to enjoy the snow. The poor child doesn't own sufficient snow gear, but we got her bundled up quite well and she had a great time.

A few pictures of the day:



Neal's KU blanket from his mom.


Sally and her gifts. I promise she smiles a lot, I just don't know how to capture it on the camera.


Sally trying her hand at shoveling snow.


Snowmen--a daddy and a baby.


Two good-looking guys.
