Catching up

Kinda fell off the blog wagon for a while. Life's been eventful and blogging energy has been low.

We had our Preview service last Sunday, the 14th. We woke up to -15 degree temperatures and frozen pipes. But the pipes didn't burst, the service went well, and the water heater pressure release valve that also failed that day got fixed. We even had 20 adult visitors at our service, which was great.

So then it was time to fight the crud. Still on that fight. Parents are supposed to arrive from Seattle today. We'll see if their flight can get out of snowbound Sea-Tac.

Kids are on break and very happy about that. Our cat has learned how to use the toilet, which boggles my mind, but which is very good, since she's been spending more time inside due to the sub-zero temps. We bought a minivan. Meanwhile, the other car is frozen and won't start. The presents are wrapped, the house is clean, and it's time to get ready for Christmas Eve.

We'll be back at ExplorationWorks for a low-key service of candles, carols, and the Christmas story. 5:30 pm. We'll have childcare for little kids (3 and under).

And now this stream of consciousness is at an end.
