Women and Photos

So, before the holidays, Jen from Jen On The Edge suggested that we all try hard to actually be in some of the family photos taken over the holidays. Well, I failed miserably. There are all of two photos of me (with Emma, of course) taken over the holidays, both taken the same evening. I'm in my coat, and most of me is hidden either by the dark, or by Emma :-)

We were visiting the Janesville, WI Arboretum's light show, which was absolutely spectacular. Inside they had a wonderful train set up, and outside they had lots of lights along the paths. They also had a local choir and hot chocolate to enjoy after walking around outside. This was a wonderful evening that Rob surprised us with --he wouldn't tell us where we were going, just to make sure we didn't have plans for this particular evening.

I took some cool video, which I've posted here too, because I was just so impressed with the light show.

 

Unfortunately, it was this same evening, after we got home, that we found out the college Board had voted for an impasse, ending contract negotiations. I think we spent the rest of our holiday break feeling sucker-punched and depressed. I don't think we took the camera out again over the holidays.
