I don't know about you all, but our family seems to march double time from Oct 31st on toward the end of the year. It seems like there is a party for everything: from Harvest Festivals at church, to classroom parties, to 2 birthdays in our house and next thing you know Thanksgiving and Christmas are here!
This year, we are excited that we are having LOTS of company so we have been doing some musical rooms and getting ready. We finally bought our new matress set and gave Whitley our queen set. For the basement, we bought a new sectional that is very lightweight and versatile. Whit can now give up her bed and we can move out the coffee table and move pieces around for her to stay in the basement when we have company. We also purchased a flat screen for the wall and this will make for fun family movie nights in the basement and also provide a sound barrier for when I am upstairs studying and people are downstairs watching TV. We are down to one last phase of our remodel now and that is to come back to the kitchen and repair one last wall of water damage and to build the side-by-side into the wall and make a desk/workstation where the fridge used to be. It is a one day, easy, low budget job that will only take a few pieces of drywall and some mud and we are done!!!
In the meantime we are wrapping up the semester and getting ready for my Mom & Marv to come, my cousin and her husband and two children and our friends Barb & Kyra. It will be GREAT to see everyone and have the house full of kids and memory making while sharing the wondrous joy of the Christmas Season!
