Cruisin'

Mabel is definitely back in good health. Thought I'd post this video of her cruising around our place. She creeps pretty fast now. She's always after Isabel and her food. To get this video we baited her with Isabel's bowl. Mabel is getting into all sorts of things she shouldn't be into. The other day I turned away for just a second and she had opened the DVD player and taken out a DVD. It was an episode of Lost, so at least we know she has great taste in entertainment.

The sick cloud continues to hover over our house, but Mabel seems to have built up an immunity. Nathan and I continue to struggle with colds, but it's nothing serious.

A small bit of news about Grandma Joyce and Grandpa Dick. Unfortunately, the heater in their house in Peshtigo died and many of the pipes in the house broke due to the cold. My dad, also known as MacGyver, had a light rigged to turn on if the temperature dipped, but the system failed so their loyal neighbor, Ralph, was not notified in time to intervene. The good news is that my dad always shuts the water off before they leave for Arizona, so the damage was limited. Dad flew back to work with the plumbers and assess the situation. They will have to repair many holes in the walls when they get back in the spring because the plumbers had to get in the walls to fix the pipes, but it's nothing too serious. The really good news is the new kitchen appears to be spared.
