Liam gets to do a reading for his First Reconciliation at church tomorrow, so we went up there today to practice, get used to the microphone, etc.

He broke his board on the first try! 🙂
Colm has been sleeping on our floor since “the flood” since his room was effected. Our sweet pup, Diarmaid, loves that there is now a comfy place for him to sleep at night, too.
The boys have been waiting very patiently to break this thing open since their grandparents bought it for them in September when they came to visit. I am glad we have it, too, since it’s probably the only Christmas-related decorating that’s going to happen around here this year. The boys have been very understanding as to why we don’t have a tree, why our Advent wreath is nowhere to be found and why their nutcrackers are still in storage.
This is a really good story, but quite dark and it makes me glad that I live now and not in the early 1900’s. It is the story of two women who live in a rural/farming area and depend on one another for company. Their relationship has many ups and down (mostly downs) and when the Depression puts a strain on their already awkward friendship, things never seem to recover.
My step-dad was in awe over the number of shoes that kept piling up by the back door. When the total number of bodies living in your house goes from two to ten…there tend to be A LOT more shoes. 🙂

We are so lucky to have our family pretty much located all in one spot. The boys got to spend some time with their cousins, grandparents and great-grandparents over Thanksgiving.
