No White Christmas for us!

Since it was 70 degrees today, I don't think that we will be getting any snow for Christmas! We have had some cold weather here, down to 24, but then it goes right back to 60 or so.

So, its been a while since my last blog. Kendra tells me that to have a blog, you have to actually put entrys up once in a while!!

We continue to be business, projects every weekend. Add holiday errands, and that results in lack of blog!

We had a great Thanksgiving in Portland, nice to see all the family, and celebrate Bert II's birthday. We did reflect how much better this Thanksgiving was than last one, when I felt so crappy, and Bert had to cook all the meal! Much better this year!

Got home from Portland, and promptly went to LA for a few days for a meeting. Man, was the weather nice there, 80 degrees! Now I am home for a month or so.

I am loving our little house, it still feels nice and cozy, even if it is alittle too cool inside. The insulation folks are coming on Wednesday, and then hopefully we will stop heating air so that it goes right out the attic. We have fun watching the birds in the yard, blue birds, cardinals and all kind of little guys. Today we had a hawk, that was amazing. Getting used to the new commute still; some guys its is BAD, but when it is good, I am at work in about 20 minutes. Nice! Try to go down a different street in Alexandria all the time, because it is so fun to see all the different houses in Old Town. And now they are cuter than ever, with their colonial decorations. Last week our boss took us out for holiday dinner at Gadsby's Tavern, which has been in Alexandria for about 140 years. Perfect for the holiday, candles and fireplace were really nice, even though it was an unseasonable 60 outside. I am sure I sat where Thomas Jefferson sat!

Rachel arrives tomorrow, which I am very excited about! Michael comes Wednesday, and Michal on Thursday, and then we really will have a cozy little house!! Bert says we should hang the christmas tree from the ceiling.

Merry Christmas to all!
