Return of the Year that Was

So, to recap… nah - just kidding. You can go back and read the last two entries if you want a recap.

September brought nice weather with it this year, so we spent more time outside than usual in a Saskatoon September. Work was keeping me busy, and William was keeping Erin busy. Being a baby was keeping William busy. All around, we were pretty busy.

October brought Thanksgiving, and Grandma Nabe’s auction sale/moving into her new apartment. It also brought William crawling around - slowly at first, but quickly gaining speed. We got to see Auntie Sandra’s new house in Russell, and get together with my extended family on my Mom’s side for some good visiting time. Grandma’s new place is really nice, and I think she likes it too.

November was just last month, so, while I don’t remember what happened that was newsworthy, I’m too lazy to go back and read about it. Actually, we went to Jason and Mandy’s housewarming near the end of the month, which was fun. William has met Santa a couple of times since then, though I don’t think he cared for the experience too much.

It’s that scary time of year, when I’m not ready for Christmas, and we’re only a week away. In fact, I have no more work Christmas parties until next year, so there’s no excuse for not getting ready. I think Erin and I are doing some quick shopping tonight, then I’ll probably spend a good part of the weekend working on Christmas presents. By the time the 24th rolls around, I’ll just be looking to fall asleep.
