Snippets of Christmas

Since Tim is sick in bed I thought I'd take this alone/down time to post a blog. I've been busy, but also nothing of real significance has happened in a while. Well, at least anything anyone would care about.

One event that has happened in the past few months is Briggsie made a new friend at his playcare on Saturday mornings. The two dogs had a tendency to play together every week. And the funny part is, both of the doggy parents wanted to get another dog to keep their dog tired and happy. Now neither of us have to (with play dates in the middle of the week)! And the plus side is we have become great friends with Jen and JD. Briggs and Socks are only a week apart in age too!

Christmas was eventful. My whole family got the stomach flu. We had family in from two states and most of them got it. I count 9 or 10 people in my head. Tim just acquired it last night. Its quite nasty. I'm trying at all costs to avoid it by quarantining him in the bedroom and Lysoling everything. I know some relatives got different severities of it. I hope that if I get it I get the very mild version of it. I can't really afford to be sick. Postive point of this flu is that its only a 24 hour flu....if there is a positive point to a flu bug.

For Christmas (and birthdays) my mom and dad got Tim and I a new stove! I was so excited!!! Our stove was a pre-1976ish gas stove. It had pilot lights that were on all the time and if they went out and the gas was accidentally on, you were probably in trouble. And it was also dangerous because Russ (orange cat) would sometimes get caught lying on the stove.

That picture of Briggs and Jackson is so cute! We hardly took any pictures because none of us were feeling well...and still aren't feeling well! We are home now - thank goodness! Sorry our time was so short! Maybe Jackson and I can fly out for a weekend this spring.
