Christmas.

We spent Christmas out on the Ocean in Cocagne. It was a green Christmas literally mainly because the grass is still green. We had a nice relaxing time there with the kids and dog. We miss our pooch mainly because during the week we leave her at a dog sitter until Friday when we pick her up. We have to do this because the place we are renting in SJ right now won't let us have her, we will only be doing this for 3 months until we buy our house. We wanted the time to look around and see what is a nice area to live in and buy.
So I hope everyone is having a splendipidous holiday.

Seasons ... Greetery

So the last few weeks have been an adjustment for the most part we have been getting used to the idea of getting up before 9am. I'm sure if you asked Andrew or collin they would laugh and say that we are trying to get used to the idea of getting up before noon, which I assure you is not true. So anyway the work has been good, and settling in nicely.
I try to walk 'Uptown' (they call their downtown uptown here... Something about the fact that the core was built up on a hill.) daily for my lunch hour. I find it so interesting, there was a fire in the 1800's that burned allot of the core area but there is a big portion left of old buildings and churches built in the mid to late 1700's so it is so interesting to check out. The places are all built side by side, and of either brick or rock, the fact that the road is steep and goes up the hill and you can see all the streets going down as you make your way up and over the top of the hill is so interesting. You can tell when you come to the newer houses because they are mainly made of wood built in the early to late 1800's. Anyway this place has lots to explore and see.

Attention to detail

O.K. Here is a story to make you chuckle or something. The other day we went to the store I pulled up to the front doors while my beautiful wife ran in to drop off some film. Once she ran in I circled the parking lot for a minute then found a spot right at the front in the first row of cars. The kids and I were waiting for a bit then we saw her come out. She took a look around, and then walked over to a car parked by the doors. Now the car was the same make and color as ours except there were a few differences. Our car has tinted windows, spoke wheels, and also the kids and I were in our car. The car parked by the doors had clear windows, hubcaps, and there was an old lady sitting in the back seat. Now my beautiful wife headed straight for this other car, and jumped in the front seat just in front of this big older man and closed the door on him. Then I saw her sit there for a few minutes while the guy tapped on the window. Then after what seemed like 3 or 4 minutes she jumped out of the car quickly, and ran over to ours. O laughed so hard, and Tegwyn kept asking her why she had climbed into their car. So that was some funny stuff.
