Quick Update

Today was a busy day. Pictures are coming soon but they are between two cameras and I have to consolidate them. We celebrated the Feast of St. Nicholas today. The kids set their boots out the night before and awoke to find them filled with treats. H, J and B found various chocolate treats in their boots while Joseph had Cheerios! Hannah was very touched that St. Nick was so knowledgeable about what babies are allowed to eat.
We then got ready in a hurry as today was half-moving day. What? We moved half of our stuff today to the new house. H, J and B went to Grandma Anne's for the day and Joseph came with me to BB to grocery and paint shop. We then went to the new house where we watched as Daddy, Grandpa and a family friend wrestled our steel-harped piano into the house. I don't know if our third mover is still a family friend...
Dave and I then painted the kitchen and dining room while Joseph snoozed away the afternoon.
Dave said he can no longer feel his forearms.
Hannah and Jacob are on the couch readying for bed and (once again) discussing their vocations. They seem to have a religious sibling rivalry going on:
"I'm going to be a nun."
"Well, I'm going to be a priest."
"Mom, did you tell them that I want to be a nun?''
"Mom already said that I wanted to be a priest."
Now they are fighting over who will open today's house on the Advent calendar.
"I'm opening Sr. Ilaria's house."
"Well, I'm opening Fr. Galen's."
We have a long way to go.
