Update

We have been so busy as I am sure everyone is this time of year.  I finally almost have all of the Christmas presents bought this year.  I cannot believe that Christmas is next week already!  I went to the post office yesterday to mail my packages and waited in line for 45 minutes even though I got there 15 minutes before it opened.   It feels good to have those sent out anyway.  

Levi is still growing and getting bigger!  He seems like he is getting taller everyday.  I have now started measuring him on the wall and I am going to try to keep doing it every month until he is two and then every so often after that.  Levi climbed into the drawer underneath the oven the other day and he looked so cute I just had to take a picture.  He is finding little hiding spots or "forts" all over the house.  He is also learning all sorts of new words (it seems like a new one everyday) and I have counted about 22 words but there could be a few he isn't letting me know about :).  This morning we saw a moose calf in our front yard and he first pointed and said, "dog", but I told him it was a "moose".  He said, "moo"; however, we have been teaching him that is what a cow says so I just hope he is not mixing the two up, but if he is, oh well!  He will figure it out sometime. :)  

I am still working at Michael's craft store about 2-3 days a week and usually 6 hours per day.  I was told last night that my job is only temporary and after Christmas there will no longer be any stocking at night.  So, I will be finding a new job.  

John is still loving his job but nothing has really changed with it which is probably a good thing!  With this economy we are so thankful he has a good job with a stable company that will not be going out of business!

Temps are in the single digits here and it feels very cold!!!  However, it is a beautiful day today and Levi and I were able to get outside and take a walk.
