updates!

There has been a 6 month hiatus since the last post, so I will fill in all the big holes!

*Note that this blog will be much more interesting in a few weeks when we finally purchase a camera to keep it interesting!

1. My job at school became full time. Yay! That meant I was able to play in the Capital Wind Symphony on Monday evenings, STOP cutting dryer sheets in half, get more sleep, get more money (!), and quit the nanny job. Although I did kinda love that job...in fact I went back last weekend for an overnight.

2. We bought a house! And we love it. All we have had to do has been paint and buy furniture. The latter we still really need to do, but it will come with time. We hosted Thanksgiving at our place and had a great time. My mom gifted us a piano, which Pat played and entertained everyone. She also brought up an oak table and chairs, a wormy chestnut sewing machine-turned desk, and lots of huge houseplants.

3. The Blizzard of 93 (please tell me you were there for that!) has been superceded by the Blizzard of '09! We had a great time being snowed in, and thankfully kept our power!

4. Pat's sister had a baby, making us Aunt and Uncle! Norah Grace Taylor was the first New Year's baby for their county in TN and she made the paper. She is beautiful and we are so happy she is our neice! Unfortunately we haven't gotten to meet her, as she decided to enter the world approximately 6 hours after we left their house...but hopefully we will meet her in the coming months.


That's enough updating for now, and kids will be coming in soon!!
