Thanksgiving

I meant to mention our trip to New Mexico.....

Excellent time hanging with Jeff, Carey and the kids...

Jon Loved sharing Kingdom Theology with the Master's Commission students.

Turkey dinner tasted GREAT...to those of us who ate....Jon was barfing, Judah was barfing, Carey over did it and layed down for dinner, Jeff took care of Carey. I, well, ate with Madison. We had some good times, huh Madison!

Overall, it was SO fun to see where they are...next time, we will try to exclude all the sickness.

Thanks guys!

One More Day...

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Finals Finals Finals. I know, I am the wife, I should not feel anything this week, but maybe a lack of time with my husband. Unfortunately, that is not the case in our househod. A: I always feel lack of time with my husband. B: I type all of his papers. Yes it is true. No, I do not get anything for it except an over-priced yummy Starbucks drink.
Only one more paper due tomorrow by 5pm.
Next Monday we fly into Minneapolis to see our friends--the Pedersens and the Browers. We have lot's of friends there, but these are the two family's we get to spend time with this year...We are only there for a day and then we head home to good ol WIsconsin Rapids for Christmas. It will be so much fun to hang with my brother Rob and his family, Tim, and mom and dad. Jeff and Carey are not going to be there this year due to Baby _ _ _ _ _ _ _. I am not allowed to tell anyone the name, but yes I know it and no, I will not tellyou even ifyou pay me. (Although, I would be very tempted right now due to financial reasons. :>)
We have not gotten our Christmas picture taken yet, but mainly because Judah got a cold sore of some sort and a rash around his mouth. Not so cute. I feel bad for the little guy, but he is the one who picks up random people's drinks and takes a swig. Gross, I know, but no matter what you hear, you cannot control your children's behavior all the time.
Our CHristmas tree is put together (I know, I like real ones too, but htey cost money and their needles fall off all over...with a 9 month old who loves eating, not a good combo! We still have to put everything on it. It only has the star on top. Jon is in charge of the lights adn then Judah and I are going to decorate it.
I ordered Creed's stocking this year. How exciting. We all have them now. Now we just need to fill them with something!
I brought home all our boxes with decorations in them. THe next morning I heard Judah in the living room, so I shouted out to him not to touch the boxes until I came out. He replied, "Why, them have snow in em?" I just laughed. Too cute.
I may have already told this story, but a month or so ago, I told Judah that when we visit Grandma and Grandpa's house, there will be snow. He then asked, "Do they have penguins there?" NOPE....only deer.
I realize that I have not done a good job lately keeping up on this blog, but I intend too. In fact, it will have to be a New Year's resolution for me this year....along with a million other things!
Well, I need to get to bed. Jon is at youth group tonight and both boys are sleeping....if I get to bed now, I will get about 9 hours of interupted sleep. Yeah!
