Back on Line!

Well, I am back on line. I tried to get on the blog all last week and my computer wouldn't let be get on line. But here I am.

Kristy, you better keep a close watch on Josiah. He is a little young for the "girl thing"! I am almost done with my Christmas shopping and I still have some wrapping to do. Our trip to Mexico was our kids Christmas gifts so Christmas shopping was very light this year.

Rebekah, since I was home today, I listened to a Matt Kaufmann sermon. Grandma has sent be 2 so far. I thoroughly enjoyed both of them. He is doing a great job. I was totally blessed.

Also Rebekah, I am not sure about Seth. He seems to enjoy it and he is talking about taking some more Spanish classes. So who knows, if there are replacements or if he doesn't "fall in love" with someone, he probably could easily stay another year. Who knows? I do know that those kids have a way of crawling into your heart and it would be hard to leave them.

We are so looking forward to Christmas. I really missed be with the family over Thanksgiving. Leah has a final on the 17th and it is over at 4:30. So she will be very late for Christmas and is majorly bummed!

Since, i didn't go to church today, i missed our program. So I am looking forward to the Bloomington church program Sunday. Speaking of programs. Mark and I went to the Purdue Music Christmas Program. Marie, i thought of you. It was wonderful and we really enjoyed it. I was amazed at how professional it seemed. Also Marie, I was shopping in W. Lafayette last week and ran into your Mom and Dad. They were at the food court eating Chinese!! It was good to see them again. They are such friendly people.

Well, we will see you Saturday.

Love,
Aunt Barb

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!!

Good morning girls! Are we still alive and kicking out there? I suppose we're just getting a little busy this time of year. Is anyone finished with their Christmas shopping?? I'm SO close! Chad and I hopefully will finish this weekend. We got a beautiful snow! About 4 inches. Not too much to make it miserable. How about the North Eastern Indiananites?? Did you get more? (Seems like you usually do) ;)
The kids are doing pretty well, other than Josiah - I'm gonna take him to the Dr this afternoon. He woke up with his eyes matted and puffy and 1 of them is pinkish. :( I'm pretty sure I know what he has. He also has been holding his ears today and crying owie. So he may have ear infections, too?? Not sure. Over all, he's pretty happy, thankfully! Kelsey has her Christmas program at church this Sun afternoon, then Tues night at School! Looking forward to those! She's getting so big!
Abbi's crawling everywhere and getting into everything she shouldn't. Now she's pulling herself up and 'crusing' the furniture!! Bekah...Josiah STILL wants to come to your house!! (He keeps asking, "Bekah's House")
Well, I'm looking SO forward to the Hoffmann Christmas NEXT weekend!! WOW! Hard to believe. Well, I'd better keep going-hope you all are doing well! Love ya! Kristy

missing gloves

matt has been missing his brown leather gloves ever since Thanksgiving with the Hoffmanns. We're wondering if anybody has them with their stuff by chance? Matt's poor fingers are getting really cold!!

It was good to hear from you, Aunt Barb! I'm glad you had such a good trip. Do you think Seth will want to do this long term (as in longer than a year or two?) We missed you guys so much at Thanksgiving. It will be good to see you at Christmas.

Well, I better run for now! Love you guys,
Rebekah
