Catching up

Moving during the holidays and while pregnant is hard! I'm still trying to get some of the normal things done though. Here's the gingerbread house the boys made. I don't know if more candy made it onto the house or in their mouth.

My sister in law, Kathy, who is due 6 weeks before me. They're expecting their first child-a boy. We're so excited for them.


Thanksgiving was a little different this year. My parents, an uncle, and our family went down to Delta and ate dinner with my grandpa who is in an assisted living center. The boys had fun making little treats for the tenants, decorating great-grandpa's room for Christmas, and eating turkey. Later we stopped by my grandmother's gravesite and later to their home. I hadn't been there since her funeral, and it brought back so many great memories.

This is the finished product of the older boy's room. Before it was yellow and purple. My parents painted for us. Now they have a cool room!

We're still in boxes, but it's starting to feel like home.
