Holiday Greeting 2016-17

We enjoy receiving Christmas Cards: photos of the children and adventures; stories of milestones, even the sad ones. Yet we haven't sent out our own Christmas Card in over a decade. What's up with that?
This is my attempt to return the joy your cards give us, even though it is a month after Christmas and sort of lame.  :)

We've had a fantastic holiday season. Our family was all together for Thanksgiving, then Christmas, then for a week skiing in Jackson Hole. Such great times. Now we have to wait until graduation in May before we are all together again.

Alexa is graduating from Cornell business school in May, and will move to NYC to work for Unilever. She and Jordan just got back from trekking in Patagonia.

Michael is loving the west coast. He lives in the Mission District of SF and works in CS for Meraki on the waterfront in Mission Bay. He and Becca stayed true to their NE roots while watching the Patriots beat the 49ers at Levi's Stadium.

Nick will graduate from Cornell with an undergraduate business degree in May. He will be working for AB in NYC. He is one of the Sigma Chi "dog boys" so he brought Runkle, the house dog, home for spring break.

Julie's practice of Traditional Chinese Medicine is thriving. She continues to spend a couple weeks each year donating her skills in remote villages in Guatemala.

Phillip spends most weekends biking or hiking.

Roy and Phillies (Phillip's parents) both turned 80 recently. Phillip helped celebrate Roy's bday with and 80-mile ride in Florida. Phillies' bday was the last gathering at their home in Indiana. Soon after, my parents moved into a retirement community.

Sam and Mabel (Julie's parents) split their time between Bedford and Palo Alto. We had the pleasure of their company at Christmas this year; Sam is getting treatment in Boston, so they didn't spend the winter golfing in Cali as usual.
