Doing Dishes
Scope and Sequence
Wool Socks

Thanks again to my siblings/their spouses for making it possible and to my parents for taking on the challenge of our children for the duration.

(Layne hasn't been feeling well today. We're hoping that he'll improve in the next day or two. It's the kind of 'not feeling well' that I would not force onto an airplane.)

Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow

It's been snowing for the last couple of days. The kids are out playing in it right now. It's kind of fun because it's early enough in the season that it's still a novelty. Even so, can't help but think of sunny Hawaii before winter is over.

Aloha!

We're going to Hawaii!! How cool is that? We had some kind people (my siblings) donate to our cause.  It was a huge surprise! We are very grateful (and yet still feel a little silly). I think I might still be in shock. We're excited to explore the views and beaches. Maybe I'll acquire a swimsuit from Title Nine before we go. Oh wait...I don't think they do sales. Hmm...
