Zeke and Bella came crashing into the house carrying arm load after arm load of dirty laundry and stuff and bringing joy into our home as well. He said he had not done laundry since he was home at Thanksgiving! It was so good to have him home...even baring dirty laundry. The house is warmer when he is around.

CJ and Anah arrived "home" (from their other home in Tucson) on Monday late. I wasn't looking for them until Tuesday and was still in the process of switching Beau's room from a teenage mess to a guest room for a married couple. It was great to see them!

Angus and Beau moved Beau's twin mattress into Zeke's room and flopped in onto the floor. Then they drug the old double bed mattress and springs up from the basement put them in Beau's room. After setting it all up Angus decided the old bed was just too crummy for guests. He went out and bought a brand new one for them. They were so surprised to actually have a room to themselves! Beau had even cleaned everything up and tried his best to make it nice for them. We are just getting to know Anah and she seemed pleased with the arrangement, too, and the privacy. I know living in this house can sometimes feel like a fraternity house with all the guys around.

Yesterday CJ sat down at our computer to figure out our internet problem..we've been without since Thanksgiving and have had two different computer-savvy college kids look at it without result. Lots of ideas and advice was tried and nothing had worked. We were getting advice to reformat which strikes fear into my heart since I've done that before.

Anyway, within ten minutes of his turning on the computer it was back up and running...with the help of a phone call to our nephew Nate and CJ's knowledge combined, they got it going again and we are up and running! Woo Hoo! Who ever said that boy was good for nothin'?!

Anyway, I had really missed the internet... but was able get a little internet "fix" at work. I sure got a lot more done at home though without it.
