Now that the Christmas season for 2010 has officially wound down, I wanted to share a few highlights: When we landed in LAX to visit the Swanson side of the family, the attendants said, ‘Welcome to Seattle’.

We spent a bit of time on the beach so that she could experience the sand and the surf for the first [...] Last week, we drove to Charleston, SC for a wedding.
