T minus two weeks or so

If getting ready for Christmas was a big project at work, I'd have to report that we are in "green" status. We still have a few presents to buy, but we're in pretty good shape. The tree is up, the lights outside are mostly working, and my dad, who is wonderful, helped us put up some new shelves (see the BenCam) and install an energy-saving programmable thermostat.

Happy new house, Andrew, Holly, Ella, & Lily! From what I hear, the paperwork is FINALLY all done, and the moving truck arrived safely.

Birthdays coming up:
December 11: Happy Birthday, Andrew!
December 13: Happy Birthday, Uncle Dan!
