Pictureless

We're buried under more than a foot of snow here in Hillsboro as well as apparently a family/house curse. Our furnace went out a week ago and we're still waiting for it to get fixed. Luckily, we are keeping warm with our fireplace and 4 space heaters.

Our reign of bad luck continued when the garbage disposal stopped working, our camera broke, my cell phone broke, and the Infiniti wouldn't start. Most of these issues have been resolved with the exception of the furnace and garbage disposal.

UPS saved part of Christmas by delivering major gifts today. But most likely, we'll be without most of our family this Christmas, as they are trapped under even more snow than we are.

Owen is going stir crazy and does not like the snow. I wouldn't like it either if it went part way up my thigh!

Just today, he finally decided that the presents under the tree are actually for him. Until now he would say they were for Mikah or Kellen! He is looking forward to opening them and still sticks to his word that he would like "trains" for Christmas.

He has recently been reminiscing about "Grandpa's dogs" that he got to play with while we were in Seattle. He likes to continually watch the video of them playing with Mikah and Kellen's new puppy!

Please send some good luck our way!
