Happy Anniversary

Tomorrow is our 10th Anniversary. That sounds like such a long time! In our 10 years we've lived in 5 houses in 4 cities, had 3 cats and 2 dogs (now down to 2 cats and 2 dogs) and have had 2 wonderful little boys. The last would definitely be the best.


This last week has been brutally cold in Denver (highs in the teens, maybe, and lows below zero). Luke was sick and missed two days of school with an ear infection and eye infection and Ryan came home today with an eye infection all of his own. Fortunately we already have eye drops for Luke, so Ryan started taking 2 doses tonight.


We had a short break from the cold on Saturday and we were able to go on our neighborhood's annual holiday hay ride. The boys had a good time and wanted to wear the reindeer antlers to add to the holiday mood. They loved looking at all of the Christmas lights and singing Christmas carols with Santa Claus. Since then, we've stayed inside as much as possible. It is supposed to warm up this weekend and we're looking forward to getting 2 cooped up little boys out again.

The boys have been asking Greg to put up Christmas lights on our house. He got out on Saturday and put some up across the top of the house; however, we haven't been able to plug them in yet (except to test them, which is shown below). It has been too cold to get back outside and run an extension cord from the lights to where ever we can find an outlet (which has yet to be determined). The camera work isn't great because I was holding the video camera at the same time while they went outside.



Greg took the boys to see his car - they were really fascinated with not only Daddy's broken car but all of the broken cars at the body shop. They have since been fascinated with the rental car even though it is a Dodge piece of junk (the sliding passenger opens up on its own, even when the car is locked). There is a reason why Chrysler should go out of business.
