After a long hiatus I am back to blogging. Our holidays were great. We had fun eating and visiting with everyone. Audrey really got into Christmas this year. She loved opening the presents and was always surprised by what was inside. So far she has loved her Little People toys and as you can see from the picture her baby doll, that we have named Ann-Marie in honor of my cousin who got it for her. She is shaping up to be quite the little mother. I guess that means that we must be doing something right since she likes to hug, feed and kiss the baby.
We had a great but short visit with our friends, Stacie and Angie on New Year's Eve.
Our house is slowly recovering from all the mess from returning from travel. We had so much mail when we returned that the post office had closed off our PO Box and had put our mail in one of those big mail tubs.
Work has been slow but good. I think I am getting a handle on the semester. I am going to be very busy. We do all of our hiring for next year this semester. This includes hiring two full time hall directors, 5 graduate assistants and one coordinator for leadership development. The last position is with whom I work the closest. My boss asked me last Friday to chair the search committee for that position, thus requiring me to travel an additional time this year to do interviews.
Laurie has been working diligently as the co-head of the nursery at church. We have paid nursery attendants and they are in need of hiring. They have also been working to keep the nursery staffed and clean until a new person is on board.
I have been working on a small committee that is looking at our church mission statement and have had some meetings about that. I also have a retreat tomorrow for the Lutheran Campus Ministries Board that I have served on for about a year.
Last night we attended a Partylite candle party at our friend Sarah's house it was fun, many of our friends and people I work with were there. Laurie has decided to host a party so don't be surprised if you get an electronic invite. You can order on-line and then it will be credited to Laurie's party. They have neat scents and cool candle holders and such. The candles are about the same as Yankee or Village candles but the accessories can be a little more.
I guess that is about it for a while we will keep you posted.
So as you can see we have been very busy

Isn't it fun when you see/hear her being sweet to baby dolls? It does make you feel just a little bit good about your parenting abilities. Much more so than if she were shouting "you can't be MY kid!" to it.
