We also added two new pets to our family, Caramel and Colonel. They have added great joy,
and lots more clean-up duties, to our lives. 
The entire Adams side of our family (plus our son's girlfriend - far left) got together for a family photo at Thanksgiving. Our severely autistic nephew (far right) was in a good mood and did great for all the photo taking. It was good to be together again over the holidays.
I'm thankful for family (especially Chris and Scott), warm weather, teaching great students at Cal State, and for friends near and far - some whom I hope to meet in April.
