Well the past few weeks brought us all kinds of fun... we replaced the Subaru's brakes only to turn around and blow the head gasket a week later... All fixed and good as new now.  On friendlier notes, Beth is back home now, we got a chance to visit Nick and Jeannine in Silverdale, spent lots of time in CDA with Nanna and Poppy including a nice trip to the pool, and winter started.  Andy loved the snow, we got him out sledding a couple times and even tossed him on his skis for the first time.. Bindings are still a bit loose for his pint sized feet, but there was no lack of enthusiasm.  For Thanksgiving Beth didn't get much time off, but I did get a day of skiing in and we spent a nice night out on the lake with the whole family.  hope everyone with well and loving life, we sure are. Happy holidays!
