She doesn't look like a jetsetter? but she is! By now she has racked up over 9 flights and nearly twice that number of trips out of state. The most recent was to Utah to see Brian and Jennifer. First the inside scoop.

Then the outside scoop.

What this picture doesn't show is the snow/sleet storm that hit just before we headed for the airport. Yes, Charlotte has already been in her first accident. Our car slowly slid into someone's driveway and nudged a stone wall. Gordon said that the car would never make it back up the hill, but Brian proved him wrong with some rather elegant snow driving. Who would believe Gordon on the subject of snow anyway?

When we got back from Utah, some of us started to grade exams, some of us ran to the phones, and some of us...well...how can I put this delicately...er... just hung out and amused ourselves?

I suppose that foot eating is not exactly "naughty", but Blair and I were not sure. We had to consult an expert. But where can you find an expert at this time of year? Santa confirmed that foot chewing was indeed "nice" (Note: after the age of 20 it becomes not just naughty, but downright kinky).
