Well, it’s been an entire month since I’ve posted anything.

Things are still pretty much going as they were.  Renée, Sammy and I had a lovely Thanksgiving in Houston with her family.  I can honestly say I haven’t been at that large of a table with that many family members before.  In addition, Sammy learned how to scale the slide at the playground and say the word, “Momma.”  Big news from this little boy!

I only have two more weeks of work until the winter break.  I’ve been trying to figure out what my break is going to look like this year and I think the word “break” describes it perfectly.  I’ve been working a lot as of late and I’m ready to do nothing except be with my family and relax.   (And, of course, I’m sure the occasional house project will creep up.  It always does.)

I’ll write more soon about a specific topic rather than this general one.  This is just to get this thing refreshed a little bit.  Until next time…
