Reflections over morning coffee




Days are flying by, as usual. Snow is falling, winter is here to stay.

  • Howie is grabbing his toes, giggling, getting way bigger than I'm ready for him to be.
  • Thanksgiving is past, Christmas is creeping upon us. I have a total of 1 gift purchased at this point. I am on the ball this year.
  • I do have ideas for a couple I'd like to make, however.
  • Oliver is, so far, unimpressed with the whole Sunday School program. I think he's got a little of his dad's dislike of large crowds going on there...I'll be doing a little talking-up and excitement making through the next few weeks.
  • I'm finally recuperated from working an over-night double at work on Friday-Saturday. Just in time to start my usual busy week at work.
  • ...Oliver threw up this morning, but judging by the bouncing on the couch and pounding on his sister, has been fine since...
  • Bread is rising. Yum!
  • Eric's grandpa had a stroke on Saturday. He's not doing all that great. Right now it's a wait and see situation.
  • Sitting at the computer makes it oh-so-easy to ignore the chaos that sprung up over the weekend.
  • Amazing how working one day makes the whole house fall to pieces.
  • And now, the kids are asking to go outside. Off to help round up the proper attire...
Enjoy your Monday!

Oh, Howie is big and so cute! He doesn't really look like either of your kids right now (at least in that picture). I was starting to wonder if you fell off the face of the earth there for a bit. Glad you didn't! :) Sorry to hear about Eric's grandpa, you'll be in our thoughts. (hugs)

Russ just pointed out that your "About Me" refers to your two kiddos. Which two are you blogging about?

Sorry to hear about Eric's grandpa, hopefully you won't be 'waiting' too long.
Howie looks big! Russ says to put some shoes on him and send him up for a visit - he's a big boy now :)
If Oliver is stubborn like his dad too good luck with the program.
