hello! - 12/01

Hello all! Sorry for the lengthy pause in updates, we've been busy dealing with sick kids and a broken car.
The kids are coming along okay - we've all still got a cold, so there's plenty of coughing, but Ruthie seems to be feeling better and Zech seems to be doing well. Isaac has had a bit of a temp again the last 2 days (yesterday and today) and has been extra grumpy. But, we did go to Winnipeg on Thursday, making for a very long day, so we're hoping he's still worn out from that. At any rate, I'll be taking him back to the Dr office to have his ears looked at, once he's all done his meds. Hopefully they're cleared up and we're done this round.
We know nothing more about the whole van insurance claim. They're waiting on us to get it in for the "price out". But, considering that means losing the van for a day, it's not going to happen any time really soon. They can wait!
Josh's car is another story. We really need to get this thing figured out so he can get back to using his own vehicle! He drove it to work Monday morning, all was fine. But after school it wouldn't start - it's rolling over, but just not starting. He's now got it in a garage (father of one of his students) and has been trying to figure things out. No luck yet. It doesn't help that this week has been really busy for him anyways, so he hasn't had a ton of time to spend on the car. But, luckily, a fellow teacher at the school has an "extra" vehicle and has loaned it to Josh to use for getting to work and back. Thank goodness. I really don't know what we would have done without that helping hand.
Last thing! I just uploaded a few pictures and videos from today at swimming lessons! Enjoy!
