This has been a busy week! I spent two days training on a new computer system at Joe's in Eugene. It's been a long time since I've driven to Eugene more than one day in a row!! It was a nice change for a few days, and the kids stayed home and did school with Bill. They did great, and even said it was fun to do school with Dad. Thanks Bill, for helping out!
Robert moved in on Tuesday. He's a friend from church, and needed a place to stay. He's been our house sitter, so it seemed like a logical move. We've enjoyed his humor and his singing around the house. He's moved into the basement (YES, we cleaned it!) and it seems to be working out well so far for him.
On Tuesday night, we joined the O'Hara's at the VonRuden's for a fun BBQ. We enjoyed some good company, and lots of laughs. Sorry, no pics! Alexis came home with us, and she & Kristin spent all day Wednesday just being girls, doing a lot of talking, and having fun being together....without other siblings around. It was nice to have just one at a time.
Wednesday night, Bill headed to Bible study and I took Alexis home, and dropped off Ryan to spend the night with Declan, and brought Tanya & Alyona home for a turn. It was funny to see how the girls did different things. They spent Thursday playing games, and even sunned themselved on the porch while giving each other make overs. Tanya was a makeover gone bad, when Alyona & Kristin played a joke on her, and put purple eye shadow all over her face. I must say, she's cute in purple!! She was a great sport about it, and even a ham when I asked to take her picture. Note the great eye trick!!
On Wednesday night, Sean sent us a link for a corner shower on Craigs List. Bill checked it out on THursday morning, and we headed out to check it out. It was listed as ALMOND..which made me nervous, but when we got there, the color was only almond because it needed cleaned so badly. We paid our fees, loaded it up, and brought it home. I was a very well made corner shower, with glass doors, and brass hardware. Bill worked a good portion of the morning scrubbing it clean. The color on the back says "Bone White" and that's what it is!! Great job Bill! Thanks Sean for the find!
Friday, Jen, Brady & the kids came for the weekend. We had a great visit this evening and the kids finally got their Christmas gifts. We hope we don't go this long again without seeing each other...it was a long haul--but great to be back together. 
Stay tuned for more pictures......
