Last week was very full- we had an (almost) clean house, our exchange student here, Finn, Bradley & Teagen all down with the stomach flu, incredibly COLD weather and a broken hot water heater. Well, it's still very cold (I'm hoping for snow!!)the water heater has been replaced-Yeah, Brett! Yeah, John!-the house is far from clean (we're working on it tomorrow), Shunsuke has returned to Japan (he was only here for 4 days), the kids are well again (though Brett & I both caught the same YUCKY bug) and this week has been hard as a result of last week. But in the middle of everything last week, Santa came through the neighborhood to spread Christmas cheer! Finn was nervous about it - he didn't know what to expect but enjoyed it (they passed out candy canes as Santa rode by on the back of the (decorated) truck. It is such a nice tradition!

note: the absence of a front bottom tooth- Penny lost her first tooth!!


On that evening we thought the boys were all on the mend- they weren't but they are all well now!! I wish I could say the same for Brett & I. I'm almost 100% but not quite and Brett is on the mend but far from back to normal.
