Noah getting his bible 


Jared here, borrowing the blog from Kimmy for a report on the Indianapolis Russell Christmas trip.  So the trip arrived a week late due to an extreme illness.  One that would of killed a mere mortal.  We had to postpone the trip down to Indy so as not to spread the plague.  So we arrived earlier on Friday than expected due to school being canceled for super cold weather.  Cold that would of killed a mere mortal.  We arrived and had a wonderful time visiting.  Noah and Andrew were there when we arrived and Eric and Kat arrived a bit later.  Noah and Andrew got to spend the night, the boys had a absolute blast.  I’m note sure much sleep happened as there was a lot lot lot of chatting while trying to sleep.  We had Christmas the following Saturday morning.  Eric and I each spent the morning unwrapping the one heavily taped package we gave each other.  While Eric resorted to using tools I successfully opened mine with my bare hands.  Or BEAR hands as that was the strength needed to open it.  Lets not talk about the two blisters on the ends of my fingers that developed and busted open while opening the heavily tapped package.  Actually it was three fingers but the third didn’t tear open so lets not talk about that.  We had a good time visiting and loved playing with Noah and Andrew for almost two full days.  Sunday morning we woke and headed to mom and dad’s church.  We noticed the supports holding the railing in the house were broken so we stopped at the store to pick up some repair parts.  After church we fixed the railing.  Then loaded the van and loaded the van and loaded the van.  Off we went for the trip home.  Had a wonderful time, bummed it had to be delayed a week but it was the best for those mere mortals.

Jared, Jacob and I went to Urgent care this evening. Jacob’s had a sore throat since New Years Eve. The dr said we have something bacterial and put us up some antibiotics. He did say we aren’t contagious anymore so that’s good to know. I wanted to get checked out because I got an abscess on the roof of my mouth.

The boys stayed awake watching Lucy and Angry Birds until 5am. They said Eli was asleep around 3:00 They woke up around 8:30 but just lay in their cots watching Angry Birds. Jacob and I played a couple games of 3-13. Mom called and reminded us that the rose parade was on so we turned that on to watch. This afternoon the boys watched football. Jared and I did some throwing on the wheel. Eli fell asleep for a couple hours on his cot. Jacob and Adam went with Nik and his mom to the midland forest and had a great time sledding. Eli learned how to make popcorn on the stove (his favorite kind) and we watched Ice Age. The boys got home from sledding around 7:30. Jacob and I played a game of 3-13 before bed.
