We started the year off sick in bed so we had a low-key new year, but did make it to midnight to watch the ball drop and Jude saved some confetti poppers so we could celebrate. It was a month of settling in. We didn't have much going on house-wise. Phase 2 was completed as soon as the hardware was installed on the kitchen cabinets. Lighting would be going in the dining area in another month or so, but other than that we were all done moving the contents of our home around like tetras to get another project knocked out. Our roosters were becoming more and more, um, vocal, so we re-homed them to our friends who own a small homestead and I hear they are very happy there. It was hard to let them go but necessary. After a very rare, very cold, Christmas (we may or may not have had to take our dog to church with us on one of the most stressful Sunday's of the year) we needed to make arrangements for Berkley to stay warm in the winter when we are gone. Everyone in the family began putting our kitchen to good use as we rotated making dinner. Zeke got his permit (after the most frustrating of driver's ed and DMV experiences known to man!). The new floors made for an excellent ice rink for hockey. And Alethia and Zeke got braces.
