This Is Us

On Friday night we went over to our friends house (Chris and Miriam) for dinner and games. The kids were so excited. We had gone over there a couple days earlier to deliver some Christmas cookies, so when we got back over there and they were able to spend more time playing they were excited. Chris and Miriam had a new game called Killer Bunnies. At first Nick and I were hesitant about it, because of the name, but it's actually really fun. It's so fun in fact, that we bought it. We would love to teach anyone who wants to play!!!

I lost my job a month ago because they said "We don't have enough work to keep you busy. We can offer you part-time, but you don't get any benefits, insurance, etc. The time for Part-time would be from 10:00 to 2:00 Monday thru Friday." First off... How rude is that to let me go right before the Holidays. Why couldn't they wait until January??? Second... We would still have to pay for a babysitter, and insurance on our own, plus all the gas for me to still drive there every day of the week. So what's the point in me working part-time? Everything I earn would go to those things. Third... Couldn't it have been part-time 8 hours for three days a week? That would have been better. So anyway, we have decided that I will be home with the kids. It's been so much fun. I enjoy taking and picking Brichette up from school everyday. Watching the morning shows on PBS with Xander. Making breakfast, lunch, and dinner at home. Being able to wash clothes any

So I finally changed the layout for Christmas. Hope you like it. I will get pictures downloaded tonight, and some blogs up in the morning (hopefully). I will also put together some Christmas songs and put them up as well.

Yes, we are still alive. It's been kind of busy... with me getting used to being home, plus our Internet access is limited. Dieter's computer is kind of slow, and our computer's security outdated. But we have a new one now, and we should get back to blogging real soon. Thanks for bearing with us. Love you, Us!!!
