I have been absent from the forum for some time now, but as you can see there is lots on the horizon for my wife and me. I realize I am making excuses to the forum diligent, but between a new job, finishing graduate school and our first little one on the way, there hasn't been much time for playing with pictures. But make no mistake, I have been keeping my eye on you all and your wonderful pictures!

My new year's resolution is to increase my participation for the following year as you all offer such great suggestions and I have learned so much through your advice.

Happy holidays and all the blessings to you and your families.
