Chills and Thrills . . . in short spurts, slurred speech, and choppy comments


Colder weather . . . no more yellow jackets in our fireplace!

Gas leak--oh, yeah, that was fun. We figured out it is in our fireplace. Capped but not fixed yet. Bet that fact makes you want to come over and breathe our air. Whheee awwe okkkahhhy rrreawwwy.

Broken computer, broken printer, broken camera, and broken DVD player. Posting a reward for information that leads to the apprehension of elf/demon/wicked entity that is causing all this ruckus.

Christmas Celebration at church. I'm in charge. Was told to plan for 150 (they thought that would be on the high end). I didn't think more than 80-100 would come. Over 200! Yes, 200 people, were at our celebration. Thrillingly, exhaustingly busy with a positive result.

All of us having been battling colds. Boys are better now.

Merritt added, "Evy" to his words . . . sounds like,"Ewwy." He is one boy demolition crew. Good thing he is so cute when he does it.

We are looking forward to Erik taking some time off before the New Year. It is about time. I am sure we will be working on projects we haven't had time to tackle. Boring things like organizing the office and hanging hooks. We are going to love it! (plenty of doughnut runs in the process)
