Whipple is Indeed Alive and Other News

At least I thought he was alive...

We had a very busy weekend! It started with Rachael's first choir concert, the Blaine coached Hannah's basketball team in their first game, then Lita and Michael came for dinner and finally we got a Christmas tree and decorated the house.


Now it's time to finish my last two weeks of Math homework and my last paper titled "This I believe..." I'm concidering writing it about the necessity of humor in parenting. I think I have a couple of pretty good ideas for that topic: Hannah and Rachael at 1 and 2 cracking a dozen eggs on the floor and sliding back and forth in it in their diapers, Joel relieving gas loudly at a very solemn part of a church service (and we were in the second row!), Joel hiding in the car for an hour while I'm frantically searching the whole neighborhood and eventually involving the police, Rachael telling her Grandma that she was chubby then topping it off by saying, "Aren't you glad I didn't say fat?" And the list could go on forever. Should be a fun paper to write :)

The puppy is coming Thursday! Yeah! Just in time for finals...woops!

Sherwood is kicking butt in football! They play at Autzen Stadium next week against Marist. Should be a good game because they are both undefeated. Unfortunately, Hannah has a game and Rachael has a concert so we will not be able to go :(

We went to get our tree at a U-Cut place in Sherwood...It was actually a lot of fun. We got a huge tree for $35!

Thank you Michael and Lita for coming for dinner...we had a lot of fun!
