Girl Scout Cookies!

Posted on by Erica

This Junior Girl Scout would LOVE to sell you some cookies!  We would be happy to bring her by your house to sell (you will have to wait until next week for that because I can’t drive yet) or she can call you.  You are also welcome to text, email, or call us and we can also ship cookies to you!  If you don’t want the cookies, but want to donate, Laura’s troop also donates Cookie Share cookies to a local organization.  Her goal this year is 300 boxes.  Thanks in advance for your support of Laura and her Girl Scout troop.  She is part of an amazing troop and she loves cookie season!

Packing

Andy is packing for the annual Sigma Chi Grand Praetor meeting.  He flies out early tomorrow morning for San Diego.  Normally, I would be jealous that he gets to go to sunny San Diego when it is supposed to be cold here, but our new furniture comes on Saturday!  I’m excited!

Mizzou Basketball

Andy and I got a night out to enjoy a Mizzou Men’s Basketball game.  Unfortunately, Mizzou forgot to play the second half and ended up losing, but I still enjoyed a night out with my husband.  Thanks to Uncle Jeremy for watching the kids for us!

Lazy Day

I wandered downstairs this afternoon to discover the kids laying on the couch and Andy comfortable in his recliner.  I think we can classify this as a lazy day…

Dinsmors!

Ian, Amanda, and Jack came to visit us for the night.  They were driving home from their yearly Christmas trip and stopped through to see us.  The kids were so excited to see Jack again!  We spent the evening eating good food, hanging out, and talking.  A great way to spend time with family in our new home!

New Year’s Eve

Posted on by Erica

What a great, relaxing New Year’s Eve!  We spent the day together as a family and just enjoyed the time.  The first part of our new living room arrived today.  It took about an hour to get the padding underneath down and then to get the rug placed properly.  I really love it!  I am very excited to get the rest of the furniture next weekend.

I made sure to get a good picture of the kids to end 2016.

While Andy and I watched football bowl games, the kids decided to make a blanket fort in the basement and spend the evening watching movies and playing games.

We enjoyed a great dinner of Chicago-style Deep-Dish Pizza made for us by Andy and then spent the rest of the evening just relaxing.

We were so tired that we decided to ring in the New Year on Eastern time.  The kids had Sparkling White Grape Juice while Andy and I shared our favorite champagne.

Happy New Year family and friends!  Here is to 2017!
