Weekend with friends (pardon my tired eyes)

Friday night MJ, Randy, Ryan H., Ryan K., Kelli, and Jonathan came over for supper. Then Jonathan, Kelli, Ryan and I sat on the couches and talked... in the cold... (Ryan brought the duvet off my bed he was so cold) and being tired, we got pretty silly. I think Jonathan and I were especially tired...

Hollie came for a visit Sabbath afternoon since we couldn't get together Sunday (her birthday!)

Ryan and Carrie get a little early wedding practice

Saturday night was game night. There are so many games at the Heilman's house, we fit in as many as we could along with a little Chef-Boyardee pizza!

Pool was followed by some fuse ball, which was then followed by Settlers of Catan (on Carrie's blog)

Weekend with the boys

After Sabbath lunch cleanup, we headed to the woods for a little frisbee throwing.

Ryan's Giants advanced today, must bring out the gear for the occasion.

PS

My new room, bigger but minus the nice big window. Although I must say its easier to sleep in!

Sabbath lunch in a set up kitchen!

Final Christmas at last...

We've been camping out in the new house, using space heaters and cots borrowed from the Knights

HEAT!

We're also learning how to be electricians - don't ask us to put yours in, we absolutely loathe ceiling lights now, especially putting them in in the dark. But lets just say, I greatly appreciate the ability to flip a switch now. Except that now I have to learn which switch is which. There are 3 switches in each room, all bedrooms included. Currently my family is downstairs figuring out that there is a switch that controls the dishwasher... hmmm....

The funniest part about this picture (which you can't see) is that Dad is standing on a stool that we set off the alarm in the ACBC to borrow (which is a funny story by itself) and I'm standing precariously on a food cooler that is not very sturdy.

Next we have to put up towel racks and toilet paper rolls since apparently these items are completely unnecessary on some planet we haven't heard of...

Dad backs Buxtehude off the truck, very carefully...

And amazingly, we found the box marked CHRISTMAS! You would see what an accomplishment this is if you could see the storage room full of boxes, Mom says there are between 400-500 in all. Yeow!

Every day penguin salt shakers

Mom loves Scottish terriers

Dad's new BMW hat

Music Christmas tree ornaments (that might double as wedding decorations!)

Red flour jars

Ryan gets one too: an audio Bible on CD

Tomorrow the heat gets turned on, yippee...
