Took Ethan to the emergency room last night, he was playing basketball rolled his ankle and tore a ligament so he's on crutches and has to go to physical therapy.

Ahhh Christmas

Christmas was nice and quiet due to the lingering snow, all the plans did not come to fruition but we worked with it. He are some beautiful pictures of the snow complements of my mom. We also had a fun time cleaning and repairing dads old bike for Maggie's boyfriend David. (with the help of Ranier Cycle) Ok! they did all the work but anyway it was fun, you will love these pictures one of dad in 1963 in front of grandmas house, and the other of David 2008 same bike. Cymbaline was going to come down for christmas brunch but the roads were to dangerous, so her presents are still sitting here. Well except for one, Ethan ate it! sorry cymbe.
