FYI, there’s a link on our sidebar for all our currently uploaded pictures. it’s set up to get whatever we put on Facebook, as you can also get our little updates on the sidebar. we seem to be better at little updates at the moment :-)
this has been a little ridiculously long in neglect. I keep thinking that I want to wait to get the gallery stuff all fixed, but it’s not priority, so yeah… we post our more frequent little updates that you can access there in the sidebar. I just got home from a baby shower and my two favorite people in the world are taking a cute nap on our bed. It’s kinda dark in there, so at first I couldn’t tell which one was snoring… but I’m pretty sure it’s the big one.
we’ve been busy. it seems like the last four months of the year are always quite busy for us, both in personal and business life, but this time it carried over a month or two. then we had a slight break where we felt like we could almost catch our breath and then in the last two weeks here we are off again!
we are VERY thankful that we have avoided a lot of the sickness that’s been going around during the winter and hanging on even now, just as the winter seems to be trying to do! (snow again, anyone? April, you say? yeah… I hear some are starting to talk that it might actually be going into a cooling period instead of the whole global warming thing… environmental religion, anyone?)
anyway, part of us kind of wants to buy a house, but mostly I think it’s just a kind of fun thing to think about. this would seem to be like a good year to do it, possibly, but we’re pretty laid back about it, so… mostly it just gets frustrating having to shove drying clothes out of the way to cook supper. but we’re really thankful for the way God has blessed us here. the cleanliness of our house really suffers when we’re busy – we’re definitely not neurotic cleaners, so, hopefully the girl that has been helping out Tim & Ang will help whip that into shape a bit for us every other week! maybe a few special projects, too, like cleaning our car, sorting through Maeve’s baby clothes to see which ones are stained enough that it makes more sense to make them into a blanket than possibly use them again as clothes later, that sort of thing. we’ll see!
thanks, God, for sunshine!
that was not a post. It was something random he was getting set up and we don’t know why it sent you a link. maybe we’ll post for real sometime soon…
ps. it’s nice in OH
Well so ends another weekend in the household of the Dillers. We have sadly come to the resolution that we are going to commiserate with our fellow Iowans and spend the winter here. We’ve already had a couple of inches of snow just this week, and I don’t think we’ve had any days that have been above freezing (I don’t track this too well so don’t quote me). So BLAH. Christina and I decided this after much thought, the trip wasn’t going to be long if we did go, so what is the worth of going to good weather and coming back to crappy weather. I have about 2 wks of paid time off at work so I think we’ll make use of those during this winter and get some stuff done with our business. yay !!
Bouncing the subject… I was so glad to receive a package of yummys from the church matriarchs!!! I guess they made some time to take care of our kids and make food for the parents!! I have to admit, this is one of the reasons why Iowa just rocks, nowhere in my travels have I encountered such a loving church family. I was blown away when we had Maeve, cus for 2 weeks we ate like pigs, because people in the church made meals for us, and now this! Sooooo… for those of you that don’t live in Iowa, stay where you are!!! Once mid-March comes along, THEN move to Iowa (I hope Kirk & Karla read this …).
I guess there’s not much more to tell. I’m proud of us because our house has had a good semblance of order for the past week. It’s amazing how much nicer and less stressful life is with a clean house.Well got to go!! Oh a funny!! The other day we were praying for lunch and we were going to watch “the office ” and so I finish, and Maeve adds her little tag “an Gamma (grandma), an Tapaw (grandpa), an Michael!!!!” hee hee I guess if you don’t watch the Office then sorry, and you should really come out of the cave and get some fresh air! Apparently she knows who he is!! ha ha!! Have an awesome week!! For those of you in IA, pray for God to have mercy on us.

Lets start with the latter… “twas the night before thanksgiving ,and all thru the house every creature was stuffing it’s face probably even the mouse”, and so it went with thanksgiving day , the day after, saturday, and yes potluck 5th sunday at church !! I think it goes without saying that I am dieting or at least trying to excersise some sort of much needed moderation with my eating . I think i was a bit too happy go lucky with my diet . I didn’t really eat anything at work so i was hungry all day , and therefore felt justified in gorging myself when supper came around. I’m packing a lunch now, and trying to limit my calorie intake to about 2059/day which should get me to losing 2.5 pounds a week. I hope to someday get to 200lbs which would be where i should be , i think. Im a bit concerned with the “extra me”, i know for a fact that i should do some sort of physical activity, but truth be told , its hard to find the time and resovle to do it.
Eddy was here , and singlehandedly gave a boost to the US economy by buying pretty much everything that crossed his sight. I guess it can be excused since all the stuff he bought has about a 75% price hike in Costa Rica. It was very good to have our southern friend here , we had alot of fun with him, and Maeve was duly spoiled by him. Another source of spoilage was the ever spoiler aunt Kimberly. The Chandlers made their yearly appearance for Thanksgiving, and helped us with the gorge-fest. They also gave us the Aunt Kiki treatment which is much fun for everyone, always unpredictable , but always fuuuuunn!! I think the world would be a better and funner place if everyone had fun relatives (cus i had lots of fun with Tim also, I didnt see Morgan much tho, but i’m sure she was fun for those that were around her) from the South.
So yeah it was one of the more memorable Thanksgivings fun, family friends and food . Now for some fwork.
Salute ,
David , for the Dillers
