4 degrees

Derek started working at Nordam Monday. Nordam is on 75 outside of Tulsa. He is excited about it...says he has a nice office but doesn't envision getting to spend much time there. He also says its about 4 degrees warmer there than home, and he has to ignore the Starbucks on the way...
Drew and Gabe's basketball team the Tyro Eagles, remain undefeated. They are having fun and I am glad they have that activity. We have discovered that Gabe has some asthma tho and are having to learn to deal with that challenge.
Josiah is 2 and 2 for basketball games so far, both losses by 1 pt. (he told me to say it that way) He's still learning to play and was pretty frusturated with himself.
Taylar and I are talking to planning her birthday party. I would welcome any ideas...we try to give her a day that is too girly for the boys to want to be around - Ha Ha.

Just some other family facts...
Zorro now weighs 83 lbs.
Chickens have started laying eggs again...well some of them.
Remodeling- we now are at the doors for the upstairs, Dad is going to have to help Derek frame them.
Drew got his permit
Josiah turned 11
We've discovered homeschoolers don't get snow days :(
Josiah might be lactose intolerant...we are testing him.
and Not only Josiah but Arnold too thinks the Whitson's is his 2nd home.

God is good...all the time.

bye for now...ts

January!

We got a camera, an awesome little picture taker for as cheap as it was! So I can't wait to post some action. The boys have a tournament starting...well it already started but their first game is Thurs.
Siah's basketball starts Sat so...

TWENTY-ELEVEN here we go!

I try to keep this pretty light but here is a serious little sidebar. Please pray for Derek and I as we make some major family decisions. Life is good, no complaints but we do have some choices to make and we want God's direction. It's amazing to me that Jesus Christ actually desires a relationship with me but He's convinced me so I don't anything to get in the way of that.

til later...

Oh and I can't physically decorate my walls in all the ways I want to so you all are just going to have to deal with my girlish outlets on my blog :j Too many things got broke or just couldn't deal with the environment around here so my interior decorating is pretty limited.
