Less than a week until Christmas

 And just like that, we are almost at the end of December. Wow.

Isaac is improving but is still sick. Like, the tail end of being sick. Kevin is still a bit off. I am mostly fine. But as usual, it has taken a long time for everyone to be healthy.

In the middle of illness and busyness, I have continued to slowly work on decluttering and organizing. These very nice cups and saucers have been hanging out in our cupboards for 25 years or so. We don't use them, so I packed them carefully in a box, with lots of tissue paper, and put them in the basement for now. We don't have lots of cupboard space so I don't want these unused cups taking space in the kitchen.

Someday our children will move out and we will want to help them so we can give them mugs and pull out our cups, or something.

So yes, a little organizing and decluttering still happening.

We are still down a car as it is taking awhile for Kevin's car to be fixed. We are still waiting on a part. It is SUCH a blessing to have multiple cars. It is weird to think how it is normal for families to have multiple cars in this day and age. 150 years ago, there were no cars. Then there were cars, but only for rich people. And then if you were middle class maybe you could afford one car.

And now we have six cars among the whole family, as Naomi and Lydia each have a car, and Isaac and Miriam have a car each, and Kevin and I each have a car.

Amazing.

Also we have four bathrooms. Crazy stuff. So blessed
