Ate lots of yummy food
Partied with Bigler Fam
Had the stomach flu and head cold run through our house. Twice.
Spent a day at a cabin in Hobble Creek
Continued searching for a house

YOu have been pretty busy. We sure do miss you guys down here. I hope you find a house soon too it's nice having your own place. I have never played rock band before but it seems to be pretty popular.

Fun holly-days. I don't know what kind of house you're looking for, but you could check out the area where we are - west of Geneva (I know, I had reservations at first too) on the north side of the river. Our street lines the north side of part of the river trail. Great people!

Now that sounds like a lot of busy holiday fun! (Except for the flu and cold). I am glad you got to do so many fun things and get to be around family. Our holidays went by much too quickly.

Looks like a good holiday! We also saw Marley and Me. We loved it. Made us sad to think about the fact that we sent Cleo to the farm :( Hope you are doing well. If you send me a email I can add you to our blog. gapgirlnoelle@hotmail.com
