Sorry for the long delay ...

I know it has been a little while since we have posted anything on here, but things have been particularly busy lately. Erin spent the past couple of weeks getting stuff ready for a friend's daughter's birthday party this past weekend. Below is the afghan and cake she made for Miss Abby, who just turned 4. The theme for the party was The Wizard of Oz.





Before that, though, we paid a visit to Santa at my workplace. It was a neat little event, which gave kids a chance to get their picture taken with Santa and share some cookies and milk with him. As you can see from the second picture, Evan really enjoyed his cookie. :)





And for those of you wondering about the puppies, they are growing like weeds. Hard to believe they are almost two weeks old! I believe this picture is from just after they were born.



Aidan has an appointment tomorrow with a preschool for Special Needs kids. I am sure Erin will post something about that when we get back home or sometime after that. Other than that, we have been getting ready for Christmas to get here. I am also looking into some therapy for myself ... something called somatic experiencing. It is something the doc at the hyperbaric center is doing. I think we are going to meet up this weekend to discuss it further.

As always, your continued thoughts and prayers are welcomed and greatly appreciated. Pray that I will hear good news about my contract; I'm supposed to know something in the next week or two. Also, pray for me as I start working towards running again. I have done it before, but I had the support of a running group. This time, I'll most likely be going out on my own.

I love the pictures! Santa looks happy as well!
I asked my mom about her getting one of your puppies but she would have to actually fly out there to get one. But they are the kind of dog she wants.
Hug the boys for me! And I am praying for your contract, Russell.
