The Hazard Chronicles

It has been a very busy time for us. Well...for me, specifically. Last week, I did not each lunch at all at work, just because I was seeing patients that whole time. In the evenings we have had Christmas presentations and concerts from all the kids, and the weekends have been busy shuttling cars to/from various destinations. It's been wild, and is finally showing signs of slowing down. Here is a brief highlight list of our last little while.

1) Gingerbread contest. Whoville won by a landslide. It wasn't even close. Good job to everyone, but especially to team Whoville.

2) My knee is finally feeling better. I mentioned it a little bit in the last blog, and I was originally more worried than I let on. It's taken a couple of weeks, and it's still a little sore, but I skied yesterday and I'm back to full-on leg days in the gym. A week from now I think I'll be a hundred percent again.

3) The kids have all been annoyingly under-the-weather. Not like super sick or anything. Just coughing. A LOT. Our house sounds like a hospital. 

4) Lindsey choir concert. This was an outdoor concert at the Post Falls Winter Festival at city hall.

5) Church potluck and chili cookoff. Rachel defended her title from last year and came away a second time with the winning dish. 

6) Skiing with friends. 

We forgot forks. No problem.

Addy and Jace

Evelyn and Josh

7) High school band concert. Both girls did great.

9) Unpagent. It is a Sunday devoted to a reenactment of the nativity. Lindsey was a wise gal. Addy played in the ensemble. 

10) Maren Voice recital. She did great. I am always a little bit surprised at how big her voice is when she sings.
