The French Drain

As many of you know Redding winters consist of a lot of rain. Some years more that others but still a good about of water. I never minded the rain until the day I became a homeowner. More specifically a homeowner in Redding, CA. In preparation for this great and terrible season Eric has been digging a French drain around our house. He has had a lot of help from really nice people like Abe Passey, Nathan, and Joshua. The best day, besides the day we finished, was the day we rented a bobcat to dig throught the Redding earth. I think it was Josh's favorite day too.

So- I'm not too into this blog thing yet. Perhaps there's hope for me yet though. Eric created this page in hopes that I would keep it up so all his friends could see what a cool family he has. I told him I didn't really want to do one, but alas...we have a blog.
Right now- my kids are reading books in front of the TV while a movie is playing. A movie they begged me to watch by the way. Your kids do this too, right? I'm sure they do.
Right now- I'm considering all my options for dinner. I really want to make Chicken and Dumplings but my Eric hates soup like it was a Nazi. Bummer. During the course of my marriage I've made a variety of different soups for dinner hoping that it wasn't soup in general that he was opposed to but perhaps a particular kind. Yeah.....and I lost that one. It's a true shame, really.

Stephanie and I decided we should add to the internet wave and give you all a little more to surf on. That's really the only clever thing I could come up with at the moment (I think of one clever thing a day, that's it). Pictures and more will come later.
