Say hi to Heather, sticking out her tongue.

Jordan stopped by, and ever since I forgot to take pictures on her birthday… she just minds me.

Apparently, I am allowed to be unbanned from the kitchen in order to make baby pies and rolls.

AND, the typical “holiday mishap” for today………. raining from the DISCONNECTED evaporator cooler. We probably would not have realized it so quickly if the kids had not been sitting directly beneath it, in a tradition of sitting at the top of the stairs, waiting to race to see what Santa brought. Jeff and Willian quickly figured it out. All better now.

Merry Christmas Hugs

As Christmas Eve is ending, my thoughts and prayers linger on those whom have lost a loved one this past year. Some, like Dalton, passed a year ago, others, just this past week. May you find peace and comfort when thinking of your angels… and HUGS, from me… us!

His Voice is Changing

Please feel free to harass William about his squeaky voice! I cannot have a serious conversation with him 😉 I have encouraged Abby to get him talking fast in order to thwart any attempts toward seriousness ;–)

[NOTE: A few days later, we were on a speaker PHONE call (not Skype) with Courtney. I txt’d her later about William’s voice… she replied that she hadn’t talked to him recently. Um… yes you have JUST NOW! I was pretty sure before I txt’d, that she didn’t realize it was him!]

Delaying Christmas Cards

We plan to wait on sending cards, for Heather to return from Charleston AND Courtney to arrive back from China. Heather leaves Dec 21st and Courtney arrives Dec 23rd 😉 Drew and Heather are under orders to take “wedding announcement” photos! Hopefully we can get cards organized first week in January!

1) Yes, Courtney is returning to China in mid-late February.

2) Drew is on track to graduate earlier than expected, from Naval Power School in late January. It appears he will NOT get leave before immediately beginning his next training, so the current plan is “something short & sweet” quickly and once he gets REAL leave, we can put something together. At least, that was the plan as I think I know it, at the typing of this blog post.

William’s Shoes

[pics incl] William was going to a neighbor’s to run an errand and started hollering about his shoes. “They should be RIGHT HERE, I wore them home from school?!?!” Ah… I told him that I inexplicably lost a pair of shoes once and found them later, at the store, on someone else’s feet…” [http://blog.scottsontherocks.com/blog/2011/10/31/murphys-law-again/]

Don’t look at me… his feet are much bigger than mine! His shoes walked in shortly after he left.

As usual, we have lots going on but we were able to squeeze in a quick meal out, a cake a couple gifts.

Heather’s Darwin Award Nomination

[pics incl] Assuming you know that you can only win a Darwin Award if you die in a STUPID way… this photo should be self explanatory. She thought there was a hole in the bag… but she cannot find it.

Setting Up Christmas Tree 12/14/14

[Pics Incl]  This year we set up the tree without Courtney because she wanted it done before she comes home from China.  Last year, we sat around and made Abby do it 😉  [http://blog.scottsontherocks.com/blog/2013/12/23/hanging-tree-ornaments/]
