away for the holidays

Probably more than half of the people who read this blog already know this, but I'm in Utah with Juma for the New Year. The plan was for all of us to come, but Justin decided at the last minute to stay home so he could study his brains out for his up-and-coming comprehensive oral exams. (Hi, Justin!)

Here in Utah, we're splitting our time between my parents house and Andria's (Justin's sister) house. Mostly, we've been hanging out. Juma's enjoyed playing with his cousins, Ammon and Ethan, all of them four years old. They don't get to see each other much, but they get along really well (for the most part--they are four).

We were a little worried about Juma and Ammon playing together again, because they haven't seen each other for two years. When they saw each other for the first time again, they were a little wary and shy. Then Ammon's mom, Jody, and I got to talking, and about two minutes later we realized Juma and Ammon had run off and were playing contentedly in the basement.
