~What We Have Been Doing~

We have been busy cleaning, sewing, cooking and whooping ( we have a bout of whooping cough going through the clan here, but thankfully it is almost over ).

James has been busy, getting ready for his trip to Norway to see Abbie.

He is leaving this Friday and will be gone almost two weeks.
