We can rebuild him, We have the technology

Yes! I'm back online baby! After my computer started dropping components like flies and quit cooperating with me, I have had to resort to using Josh's little netbook and it just wasn't cutting it! With some big help from my sister we are online and I got a sweet printer on sale black friday, so the print shop is back in business! Look forward to more posts to come and hopefully I can start following everyone else's blogs again as well.

P.S. Check out my sis's computer repair company's site, here.

Snow and Giving Thanks

Our first snow has come and gone here in Bellingham. Elizabeth had a being pulled around in this little sled. While her dad and brothers were a bit more adventurous and took another sled down ever hill in our yard.

 The next morning we had the most beautiful sun rise over Lake Whatcom!

It snowed again overnight before thanksgiving, but I didn't get any photos. :-(

We had a great day on Thanksgiving. We took the kids to see Tangled with my parents. Then we all came back to my house for our turkey dinner. Josh attempted to deep fry a turkey, but it didn't turn out so well. Thankfully, I did a second in my roaster oven, that turned out delicious! The older two spent  two nights out at my parents, so Josh and I could do some black friday shopping, I finally got a new printer, but other than that wasn't too impressed with the sales this year. Saturday, I baked some yummy spritz cookies that can be seen over on OH starting on Wednesday. Then we set up the tree and decorated it. This is the first year we did a fake tree. One of the best parts of having a Christmas tree is the smell, and it's just weird that mine doesn't smell. Maybe I can find a pine scented candle, hmm? Sunday we all started coming down with bad cold and stayed home from church. Which, brings us today. The last of the leftovers are gone, all the dishes are clean and put away and we're all feeling better. Looking forward to the Christmas season ahead! What are you looking forward to?

Like Father Like Son

After much speculation on our part, doctors confirmed last week that Gabriel has Asthma. Something like 90% of kids with severe allergies like he had end up developing Asthma later in life, so we were totally prepared for this day. We're beginning a series if inhalers and nasal sprays to see if these will help him breath better. We'll see what happens.
Josh (my hubby) was about 8 when his family moved to the PNW and he developed allergies and Asthma, so Gabe is just about on track with his daddy. I'm thankful Josh has been through this already and has experience with all the inhalers and all that.  It's not a life threatening illness, but it will take some extra caution and patience on our part, so prayer would be much appreciated.

We're still here!!!

Man! I have really let my blog go! We have been having crazy busy days around here lately. We had to update all of our programs we are on and let them know that Josh was working and just as I finished that all up, Josh got let go. We knew there was a possibility that his job may not be permanent and the more days he was there the more he realized this would be a "until the next one comes along" kind of job. Now were just waiting on Intalco and applying for more jobs. Talks of making a trip over to Wyoming have started up again too.
My poor dinosaur of a computer no longer has Internet so I will be doing all my blogging from our netbook. Elizabeth got to our good router and then our back up one met an unfortunate fate falling from where Josh had it perched. Hopefully we'll get that fixed soon, but until then we won't have many pictures on here.
Hope everyone is doing well! TTYL!
