Christmas Lights

Tonight we went with Scott's sister Carol and her two granddaughters Megan and Miranda to see the Fantasy Lights at Spanaway Park. Going and looking at Christmas lights is one of my favorite traditions. We usually go and get a coffee/hot cocoa and then drive through neighbor hoods but this year we heard about this option and decided that this is how we would look at lights this year. (Of course it's still a probability that we will do a drive or two through a neighborhood as well). I'm including a link to the parks website http://www.co.pierce.wa.us/pc/abtus/ourorg/parks/flights.htm as well some pictures.

We had a GREAT time except for the hour that it took us to get there due to heavy traffic on I-5 and 512 because of accidents.

Up and running

Thanks for all of the prayers! Scott hasn't gotten sick and I'm back amongst the living again. And of course I've hit the ground running (well as much as I run any way).

This weekend is Gabby's Christmas program so she has had extra practices for that along with her normal activities. But she only has one writing assignment left to do and then she is finished with school work until January. Woo Hoo!! This year she is staying on top of her responsibilities which of course makes things run more smoothly around here and allows her to participate in more activities. As I'm sure you can tell by the places that I've listed that we run her.

Her next goal is to get her drivers license.

My goal...get my Christmas cards out, some baking done, shopping finished etc., etc., etc.

The Most Wonderful Husband

Well Gabby is better but I am sick. I haven't been this sick for a long time. That is why I'm so thankful for my wonderful husband. He has been taking very good care of me (and everything else too). He has done all of the running Gabby to and from her commitments (2 Christmas Program practices, 2 Piano lessons and Awana just since Sunday) as well as taking me to the doctor, getting my medicine and trying to fix the drainage under our house. Please pray that he won't get sick!

He even went so far as to move the recliner into our bedroom so that I can sit up and sleep to help with the wheezing/breathing. So that's pretty much what I've been doing the last three days is sitting in the recliner all wrapped up in a quilt that Scott's mom made for me (Thanks Mom!) being taken care of.

I'm a very blessed and well taken care of women.

Thanks to all of you who are praying for us!

Fighting Off Colds

I haven't posted for a week because we have been fighting colds around here. Gabby wasn't feeling well the first part of the week and then I came down with something on Thursday.

Scott seems to be the one staying healthy and we are trying to keep it that way. Pray with us that he won't catch it.

I guess the bright side is that I haven't spent as much money at Starbucks this week :)

Oh yeah and in between all of that we have been keeping up with Gabby's school work, Awana volunteering, piano lessons and practices, and extra practices for the Christmas program at church. We don't have time to be sick.
