All is quiet

Celebration is over and the Michigan kids are back home again so the house is deadly quiet.  Lots of laughing, talking and just having a ball.  It was like music.  Kat and Eric family spent most of Sat. here.  Back again on Sunday to sled on the hill and then Kat and the kids dropped by Monday.  Cousins had a blast.  Kimmy and I hit Last Chance Goodwill Monday for a 3 hr. shopping spree.  Cooked a lot but always found the dishwasher either stacked full and running or unloaded and dishes put away.  What a good help from the Mi, kids.  Jared and Kimmy cleaned out the attic and now we have a ton of stuff to throw away.  Makes me feel good that the attic is fairly empty.  Never should have stacked stuff there in the first place.  We have major trash this week as well as next for sure.  Jacob spent a lot of time sewing on the sewing machine.  He loves it and did a wonderful job of listening and sewing and made a really well sown pillow with straight as an arrow sown seams.  The sewing room is back with my stuff and busy as well.  I finished another piece for the communion table to use on Sunday.  Tomorrow morning I'm working the desk at church.   Lots of snow, cold, a little ice.  It's winter in Indy.
