Sunday Night Sleepover

We spent most of Saturday in Watertown with the girls and their friends. Courtney's friend, Kyler celebrated his birthday at the ice skating rink. It was pretty amazing to see eight adults with thirteen kids on the ice!

Courtney is having a sleepover this evening since she/we do not have school tomorrow. The girls and I spent the day at church cleaning out five Sunday School rooms. It was quite a large task, but it was nice to get supplies, books and curriculum organized. Courtney originally invited two friends to spend the night, but Kyler was not feeling well after supper, so he went home. The picture shows Courtney and Jalen listening to Courtney's Ipod.

I am busy preparing for my dissertation proposal on Thursday in Vermillion. I have my powerpoint, three chapters and references all ready. It's possible that I may be able to graduate in May, but I'm thinking August may be more realistic. Stay warm everyone and have a great week!

Happy Birthday Shelly!

We'd like to wish our aunt and sister-in-law, Shelly a very happy birthday on Friday! We hope you have a great day! Love ya:)

The Life of a Cat...and other Ponderings

I took this picture of Skittles today. He looks very comfortable. I never thought we would ever have a cat, but we enjoy him! The girls are back into their school and ice skating schedules. They both have birthday parties to attend this week and are keeping busy. I am getting ready for my dissertation proposal, which will be the end of January in Vermillion. Eric stays busy with home basketball games and watching NFL football:) Have a good weekend!

Election 2008

Eric and I went out for supper with some friends (2 couples) this evening in Claire City at Deano's Restaurant. We had a nice time and talked briefly about the Iowa Caucus results and our presidential hopefuls. Hillary Clinton and Mr. Huckabee were discussed as favorites by our friends. I am still undecided at this point-I think it's too early to decide. Who do you like in '08?
