After spending nearly a week in Wisconsin and "Christmasing" with family and friends, we are now back home in Indiana. Pictures to come shortly.

We had one surprise while in Wisconsin. My brother Brett and his wife Natasha were expecting their 2nd child in early February. Well... this little fella had something else in mind and decided to show up early. So I now have a new nephew, albeit a small one - only 5 pounds and spending his days in the NICU for now. But we were able to visit and meet the little man.

New life and hope for the future - what Christmas is truly all about!
