Jenga!!

David got Jenga for CHristmas and on Sunday the kids were having fun with it, and I was having fun watching their expressions. If you look closely you can see that the first 4 or 5 layers only have one block. Chris and Kyle were very tense by this point and so was the audience as you can see in the pictures. They caused Chris and Kyle great grief when every time Chris or Kyle succesfully pulled out a block, they would jump up (after leaning on the table) and then shout 'YEAH one more layer'!! At one point I wasn't allowed to take a picture becuase they were afraid the flash might make it fall!! :)

Eventully the Great Tower did fall, scattering Jenga blocks all over the kitchen floor. We were still finding them the next day! I think the final count was 28 layers, which is one of the highest I've seen in a while. Though at one point at Coffeehouse Matt, Pete, Cory and I had a pretty tall one, but we never counted the layers.

After Chris and Kyle were finished, Michael and Hendrik had some fun with the blocks. Here Hendrik is admiring his tower minutes before it would fall. I think the 2 of them spent 20 minutes building towers, and watching them fall, building towers and watching them fall. Amazing how much entertainment 54 little pieces of wood can provide!

Back into Blogging!!

Ok, I'm attempting to get into blogging again!! I don't know how many blogs I've made over the past weeks and months, and then ended up forgetting or losing all the passwords or usernames. Anyway this past time, I thought I'd be smart (I finally learned) and I wrote down the username and password, in a safe place of course! Then when I went to sign it took me to one of my blogs that was made like a month ago, and has nothing on it. So now I can't get on my last blog, to post or switch settings or anything. So I start again. Hopefully I can get it right this time. Hopefully most of you saw the pics on the last blog, because I'm not in the mood for republishing them again. However I do have some pictures of the puppies, so I'll try to upload them. Again, sorry for all the blog switching, and I hope I got it figured out now.

May God bless you with a very Merry Christmas, and may He continue to bless you all richly in the coming year.
Aren't they adorable?! The one Melissa is holding was walking around this little piece of straw on his nose for like 5 minutes. It looked hilarious! The ones Mike and I have were so cudly - you could lay them out in your arms, and they would just sit there all dopey like. I can't wait till we get to take ours home. By the way does anybody have any good suggestion for names? We are getting a little girl.
