Two "News" Today

New Tooth...Tanner is getting his first adult tooth in! He lost the baby one at the beginning of December and we can now see the new one coming in.
New game...I had to post two "news" for today because I wanted to record both before the "new" week was over. We had played this game many times with some friends and really enjoyed it. In the past when I have gone to look at buying a copy for ourselves I had not been able to find any, except for one copy at Amazon for $70+. WAY to much to spend on a game...by chance I looked the other day and found it for a reasonable amount and got it right away. We called some family and friends over to enjoy a game night and good company!

New Mailbox

This is our new mailbox. We weren't planning on getting a new one anytime soon, seeing as we have only had the other a little over a year. Yet, when we came home on Tuesday afternoon some driver had hit our mailbox and left the pieces all over the road. Interesting thing though...Thomas had put a Netflix movie in the mail Tuesday morning and Tuesday afternoon our mail for the day was in the small remaining hole for the paper. Question of the day...what happened to the movie? No worries it seems to have made it to Netflix and the next one is on its way! Just wish the person who hit our box would have been kind enough to at least stop and apologize...maybe he/she has a mark on their mirror that will remind them to be more careful from now on?

New Lego Sets

Tonight when we got to Grammie and Grandpas house they surprised the boys with new Lego sets! Tanner has really enjoyed putting his Legos together recently and wanted to get right to these. Thomas and Grandpa were helpers in making sure everything went together correctly. What a great way for the guys to spend a Wednesday night together!

New Day...New School Semester

Christmas break is over and I have to go back to work. What a way to document the start of the next semester of school by taking a picture of the day getting lighter out of the back door of my classroom.

The New Book I am Starting Today


I just finished reading The Girl With a Dragon Tattoo and it was time to pick my next book to read. This one looked good. Kristin Hannah's books have an enjoyable read, not quite romance or touchy feely but a good story.

New Beard Growth

It takes Thomas no time at all to get stubble. I really prefer he not grow out his beard, but on days off he refuses to shave!
