Wow, I've been slacking. Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures this time either. This will just be a quick update on the current happenings in our lives.
Hannah is already living up to the blessing she got back in November of last year. One of the things that I remember is that she was told that she would help comfort and take care of her brother. Yesterday I guess Noah was screaming inconsolably for almost an hour. It finally got to the point where Elizabeth had to just let him roll around on the floor and cry because he kept arching his back and pushing away if she tried to hold him. Apparently, Hannah kept going over to give him rags, pat him on the back, and give him kisses. How sweet is that?! Her vocabulary is expanding as well. I think the latest addition is "juice" -- one of her favorites.
I am currently interviewing for a big promotion at work. My team leader is being deployed to Afghanistan (she's a major in the Army Reserves). I was named Interim Team Leader as she has been transitioning out -- she only has 8 working days left. I am going for the position. I don't have my hopes set too high because a) I'm so young, b) I'm currently two pay grades below the pay grade I would be in if I got the position, and c) I've only been in the department since June. But hey, we'll see how it goes. I know I could do the job and do it well.
Tomorrow we are going with Elizabeth's parents to the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra's Yuletide Celebration. This will be the 3rd year in a row we have been. It's always a great show. Sandy Patty is the host again this year, and I heard on the radio that the African Children's Choir is going to be there. I'm pretty excited about seeing them. They were on American Idol this last year (I think). Maybe during the Idol Gives Back show...
Saturday we are going up to Berne to visit Elizabeth's grandmother. This will be the second time she has gotten to see the babies. You may remember my post this summer about our first visit. While we're there we may check out some of the furniture stores. The last time we spotted a beautiful Amish-crafted solid cherry dining room table that would look great in our dining room. It could expand to seat up to twelve! The craftsmanship was beautiful.
I saw on Bruce and Alyssa's blog that she was going to (or did) "tag" us. I'm too dumb to know what that means I guess. Maybe somebody can fill me in...
It's Office night. Although, we still have Journeyman on the DVR from Monday night. Not sure which we'll watch when Elizabeth gets home from yoga. By the way, if you're not watching Chuck, you are missing out on one of the best shows in a long time.

Being tag means, you say 6 things about yourself and then "tag" other friends to do the same. It's silly, so you really don't have to do it if you don't want. We are on our way to Greenwood right now!
Yay a post! I told Elizabeth last night that I hadn't seen anything new from you in awhile...not that I can talk, I have also been a blog slacker. I have heard that the Yuletide Celebration is great, we are going to try to go next year. Is that the one with the tap dancing Santas? We haven't been watching Chuck as we have been watching Dancing With The Stars, but my sister LOVES it. I think past episodes are online so we will have to get caught up and start tuning in. Have fun furniture shopping, I love cherrywood furniture. How far away is Berne?
