Welcome back and happy Tuesday! Tyler comes home in a couple days and then the rest of us have one more week before winter break. I can't wait for either even though there is still so much to do before the big day. We did at least have a good productive weekend where we checked a few things off our list and that totally helps.
Here's a look at last week's pictures:
Day 337- Sunday, 12/3/17
Scout found himself a fun sled to sit on, and I picked up a pretty poinsettia to brighten things up. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.
Day 338- Monday, 12/4/17
The boys are working their way through the advent calendars and Justin was happy I found him one printed with a tree full of nutcrackers--his favorite Christmas decoration.
Day 339- Tuesday, 12/5/17
These two are are playing and goofing around after school while I'm trying to catch up on The Good Doctor.
Our minds were with Tyler today. Here we go with the wildfires again but this time down south. Throughout the night the Skirball fire came very close to my college boy. You can see in that first picture where the fire jumped the 405 right near the Getty Center which is only 2 miles from UCLA. Sunset Blvd. is the exit we take to get to his dorm. YIKES! They were right on the outside of the mandatory evacuation line so classes were cancelled for a couple days until the fire was contained. In the last shot you can see the wall of smoke they woke up to this morning just beyond campus. Those selfies of him I found recently on twitter and love how they show some of his quirky personality. I miss that face. We're so glad he's safe and didn't need to evacuate. Prayers to all those still in danger from other fires down there and our hearts go out to so many that lost homes and businesses.
Day 341- Thursday, 12/7/17
This is one of Scout's favorite books. He reads it every year he visits. It's a really cool pop-up book called The Curious Cat's Christmas.
Day 342- Friday, 12/8/17
It's so nice having my own personal gas attendant. Now if I could just get him to pay the gas bill ;0) On that note he did get his first paycheck today, and we did just come from setting up his bank account. That's a good start!
Today was a busy day. We found our fresh-cur tree and got it set up in the house. The decorating will have to wait another day. Later Justin had his cross-country banquet and got his varsity letter. WooHoo! Now it's back to tennis for him.
That's it. See you all next week.
So glad that Tyler is safe. How heartbreaking down there.
