Xmas come and gone

Greetings and and salutations all,
Once again the holiday season draws to a close here very soon. Henry and I wish a wondrous New Year to you all.

Now that that is out of the way, we've just been hanging around the house this week after Xmas. Henry is catching up with some friends from the ol' cul de sac and I've been slowly but surely working towards putting away ever more stuff from the move. Settling in is quite unsettling if I do say so myself. Buth has been pretty crazed with all the activity and he sometimes is the furry whirling dervish which tends to leave lots of fir needles on the ground around the Xmas tree with his big ol' tail. But he keeps us amused and happy so we like keeping him somewhat wound up anyway.

Henry and I are both fighting colds and although we were supposed to go to Oregon this weekend for New Year's we're staying home, taking care of ourselves and catching up a bit. It didn't help that the cars 3rd cylinder started misfiring a couple days ago and I didn't feel good driving that far especially in the kind of weather we have been experiencing between here and McMinnville. They had snow over ice last week and there has been driving rain between there and Edmonds for the past week or so. It was a good excuse to stay home but today dawned pretty clear and cold, supposed to have a high around 45 or so.

New House & Various Updates

Well, we moved. We're only a couple blocks from where we were and closer to downtown. The house is great although much of it still in boxes a couple weeks after the move but at least we have internet and tv left over from the last tenants. Hen ry likes it here and likes that we are near the friends we made over the past few years in the cul de sac. I like being so close to downtown and it being very convenient and our new landlords are terrific.
The holidays are here and I am once again far behind but this year I believe I have a good excuse with the move and all but we have the tree up as well as some
the dog and played some computer games. He made it 2 hours which really impressed me and everyone else without any other kids to play with.
Henry will be with his Mom the week prior to Xmas and then with me the week after. I am looking FW to having a down week to finish unpacking and get his gifts ready as well as get the house ready for Santa's visit. He keeps telling me he wants and IPOD but that might be a bit much. I think I want to cater to his creative side and get him some more art suplies and I'm looking at a travel easel that I'm sure he'd love.
We are starting to talk about the ADA ride again this year and have already received the signup information. I'm pretty sure we'll do it again as we were so successful both in reaching our goals of finishing and in fund raising as well.

I'll do my best to get some photos of us and the new digs up here as well as be better about moe updates going forward. I miss doing it and I've heard some of you have missed the updates too.

Bye for now
