settle down

the holidays were great, but I'm glad that we're back to "normal" life. relatively regular days and schedules, no travels, just living life.

work is starting the year out busy, which is a good thing, and I need to get a site started and finished this week. should be a little crazy, but I do better when there's pressure. and the office should be a little quieter, as one of our number will be mostly working from home to look after his kid.

I got 2 settlers expansion packs for christmas: 5&6 player expansion, as well as cities & knights. so who wants their butts kicked? for many of yall out there, I happen to be your settlers granddaddy, so to speak, as we taught quite a few folks around here (we caught the fever from trippy). so let me know if you want to get in on the expansion too. we played with the monahans and perkins the other night, and it was a good time. very cool to have 5 great kids among us too. gotta love isaac's LONG hair. so cool.

the new year brings some thoughts of doing things differently and/or better. more scripture. more music. more love. and more sunday school kids! yes, I'll be hanging out with the kids again, and I'm quite excited. we'll see how much they've changed in the 6 months since I've seen them last.
