"eVeR hAvE oNe oF tHoSe DaYs?"

Ok today was one of those days when we just should have stayed in bed. It started very early this morning when we awakened to the pitter patter of rain drops falling on our kitchen floor. Unfortunately our roof has a leak and when it rains our kitchen is a little on the flooded side. I would have included a picture of all the towels and buckets but I haven't had a chance to transfer the pictures yet. So as if being up almost an hour earlier than we needed to be wasn't bad enough. Things only got worse for Kurt later today. When Kurt got out of work today he discovered that someone had smashed the passenger side window of this truck and stole his radar dector, that is 8 years old, without the cord! We figure some jerk got the raw end of that deal and stole it thinking it was a GPS, lucky for us we know where we are going. Oh and all Kurt's tools, snowmobile jacket and other valuable odds and ends all escaped untouched. At the risk of sounding like a redneck Kurt figures he has to be black. Oh the joys of working in the high crime neighborhood of Syracuse. Now we just have to wait to hear from the insurance company!! Happy Holidays to us!!!

"I hope he acts just like you"

My dad had always hoped that my brother Ryan would have a son that acted just like him, well his wish came true. Ryan sent me this picture of my nephew eating dinner in his high chair the other night. Last night we had dinner at my parent's house and everyone was there and instead of eating Carter smashed all his food with his fork and made faces at me. Last night Pa tried to get him to say my name and it came out T, so I am now Aunt T, the one who gets him water out of the fridge. On a final note I am happy to report that mom and dad are doing fine. Mom went back to work last Monday and dad is now driving himself around using his left foot and probably his crutches.
