Yes, we did.  We were presented with an opportunity and couldn’t pass it up.  Since we weren’t able to get to the Cincinnati Zoo and Newport Aquarium this summer like we had planned, we put that money saved into our Christmas fund, and Christmas came a little early this year.

Jayden was sooo excited.  Of course, he knew exactly what it was and exactly what to do since Papaw Mallory has one.  Hopefully, we’ll have a few pictures up soon.  There’s a couple that show his concentration face and a few that show him using his whole body to bowl.  It’s hilarious.

I’m on half days now.  Three days left!  I’m excited about it.  No wonder I don’t want a full time job.  It’s been a great experience and should get many letters of recommendation because of it.

Other than that, we’re just keeping up with housework and the kids.  Quite a chore, indeed.
