Tuesday December 23rd

I suprised Allison and came home yesterday. I asked the boss for the week off because there is just too much snow on the back streets. It is snowing lightly here but there is supposed to be a big storm moving in tonight and tomorrow.

We wish you all a Merry Christmas and a very happy New Year

Pat and Allison

Remember Last Summer?

Shaun and Kauleen out for a ride. I was just thinking warm thoughts.

Snow 2008

Enough already, These pictures don't show just how much snow there is about 15 inches! The wind blew some drifts yesterday and then another inch last night.

I hate shoveling snow!

Good Sunday Evening

I made the trek home for the weekend with Jenae and baby Madden, they stayed with grandma and grandpa. Allison made a pot of chili Friday so we had a nice hot meal when we got there. The weather was kinda crappy and snowy so we just took our time getting over Stevens pass. Saturday morning Allison and I got up early and headed to Wenatchee to get our Christmas shopping done we left at about 7:30 shopped til about 1:30 then met John and Pam at our favorite restaurant La Fuentes in Wenatchee then headed home. We got up this morning packed up Picked up Jenae and Madden and headed home. The pass wasn't too bad and we were home in Burlington around 3pm. That's 3 weekends in a row I've been home and will go back for 4 days on Christmas eve. We are gonna have a quiet Christmas at home just Allison and I then we hook up with the kids in Wenatchee to celebrate the weekend after Christmas. Gonna be kinda strange cooking a prime rib for two. Maybe I will have to do a small ham this year. It's supposed to get down to 15 below in Coulee this week burrrr!!!!.

Have a great week

Pat

Merry Christmas

That sounds weird!

I made the trek home for the weekend to see the Hot Lovely Wife! We went to dinner at the Mexican joint Friday night. Saturday morning we put up the Christmas tree then went to Spokane with Allison's folks. I got my new camera Saturday from the post office and was up early reading the manual. Allison was kind enough to let me bring it over to Randi and Karleen's so I can learn how to use it. I am not stupid but the manual makes me feel that way! I will need to read it a few times I think. Allison went to a scrap booking party this afternoon with some friends after I left. I came home over north cross highway and ran into a little snow, not much traffic and a nice drive. I brought Allison's car over this week and will have it probably until Christmas. Jenae and Madden are going over with me next week. Allison and I are heading in to Wenatchee Saturday morning to do our Christmas shopping and will have an early dinner at our favorite Mexican place La Fuentes before heading home.

Talk to ya'll later

Happy Monday

Well Mom is back in the hospital, after an appointment with Dr. Chaffee this afternoon, he just wasn't comfortable with how she was progressing, thinks it was probably a kidney infection, she is retaining fluids, so they did an EKG and have a cath in, and he will run some more tests tomorrow and see if we can get a better idea what is going on.
It was good to have Pat home, although I feel bad I wasn't able to spend more time with him. I appreciate Bobbi, Rich and Crissie coming over and helping getting the house put back in order. I will keep you all posted on what is going on, keep her in your thoughts and prayers. Hope everyone has a good week!
