Catching Up

The last week has been a blur -- work, class, getting the house back to normal, wrapping Christmas presents, putting the tree up...

So here we are. We still have some shopping to do. I still have a list to get ready for Jane's party next week. The tree is up, but not decorated. That's the beginning of the not done list.

I've spent most of the last couple of days feeling really sick, so the pile of not done has grown. I tried to spend as much time as possible laying in bed, on the couch, in the chair (notice a theme) and Bruce and Jane happily ran around and made mess after mess. Jane did try to take care of me and I got lots of hugs to make me feel better. I think I'm back to normal now and hopefully the rest of the family doesn't get sick.

Bruce has been quite a character. He is either drawing (on the marker board, paper, his face, his hands) or climbing. I am really thankful for washable markers, otherwise I think I would have a permanently green, blue, and orange child.

Here Bruce is a year ago -- I can't believe how much he has grown.

Bret and Jane worked on a special project this afternoon. Last week at Lowe's the cashier gave Jane a project apron and a packet of three projects to work on. Bret and Jane made one last weekend and another today. Here they are working:
