Well, it’s two Christmas parties down, two to go (sort of.) In reality, there are probably four more to go for me, three for Erin, and two for William - Wednesday is a “Social Club” Christmas lunch that Erin is coming here for (William too ;) then Thursday night is the PCS Children’s Christmas party. Saturday is the Cargill Christmas party, for which we are having Jim and Judy babysit - they did such a great job on Friday night for the PCS party - William didn’t even notice that we were gone.

Then, next Wednesday, it’s the departmental Christmas lunch social. Overall, a lot of food related events.

We’re working on getting our house cleaned up some, because it needs it, and we need a place to put a Christmas tree. We’ve decided to put it up in the “front” entranceway that we don’t/can’t use. The only problem is cleaning it out sufficiently that there is space for it. Somehow that area always accumulates stuff.

I got all caught up on categorizing photos, and discovered some holes - we have no pictures of William with two of his uncles, and none of William with his Grandpa Mitchell. It’s kind of strange.

Speaking of William - he’s been getting fed a lot more solids lately, and seems to be really enjoying them. He’s a really well behaved eater, and if he’s in his highchair, he hardly ever gets food all over the place anymore. Occasionally he closes his mouth before the spoon is in, which results in big globs of food on his shirt, but most of the time he does this little lunge move to make sure he gets as much food as he can.
