Reality & Fondue.

The reality has set in. Benny was on call the first weekend here and we are finding that the summer bliss of Lake Chelan is much too far away. We are enjoying the time Daddy is around and not having to sleep at the hospital. Atticus has had his ups and downs in returning to a familiar school, new teacher, tons of friends, but a different way of learning than his last school. Cozy brought back her imaginary friends from Spokane and they are right back in the bathtub reading. Another scary friend stowed away with the two so we now have Cumber, Bubbles and Nissy. After I finished unpacking boxes, organizing, hanging art (how I wish my mom could help with that) I realized that we still had boxes in the garage to go through. I am physically tired from all the work and forget to eat so I have found I am losing weight. I figured out that we have moved 8 times in our 11 years of marriage. 8 is Enough! Isn't that a old sitcom title? It's only when you move that you realize "where did all this junk come from and do I need it all?" In this frame of mind my goal for 2009
is to de-junk and to remember "less is more". I have also decided to take loads to the goodwill and avoid the work of a spring yard sale. So, we are back to the daily grind trying to get into a routine, but enjoying the beautiful area we live in. Here are some photos of us enjoying a break with the fondue set that the Swisstensens sent us for Christmas! The first time the kids had fondue and it was a fun & tasty mess!!
