On the internet front

Not much progress on the internet front at home.  Steve is doing his best to get us "connected."  I have reverted to ultimatums...."I'm taking your dish tv until we get internet."  Ahhhh... the supportive, understanding wife that I am.  More like desperate times call for desperate measures!  We have discovered the phone lines in our house are old so DSL is not really capable of running on them.  There are other options...which we are exploring.  Until then...it's hit or miss.

The weekend went by quickly--as they always do.  My dad and brother came up Friday with my mom and took Steve's mom back with them.  Saturday we had our first visitors in Fergus Falls.  Some friends were here from Little Falls to watch their sons/nephews play the Fergus Falls hockey team.  They spent the afternoon with us & Steve was able to go to the game with them.  He now thinks we should get to all the Fergus Falls winter sporting events--at least one game.  We'll see.

Last night we were cracking up at the new vocabulary we are learning as we watch the news.  We are reminded that winter has it's own language in Northern MN.  We discovered that it is "mild" when the temps are in the single digits, "cool" when it is single digits BELOW zero, "chilly" when it's double digits BELOW zero, and "frigid" when it's in the 30 below zero range.  Quite hilarious!

The other EVENT in Fergus Falls is that the Fergus Falls High School Marching Band was chosen to march in the Inaugural Parade.  Yes, it's been the talk of the town.  A huge honor.  Some of the people I work with have kids in the parade so they've been keeping me up to speed on the trip.  

With the grandma's here we've been making the rounds at the dining establishments in Fergus.  It's amazing the extent of the options when you move from a town of 6000 to 16,000!  Don't worry, they still have their share of pizza places.

Micah is teething...AGAIN!!  Poor guy!  I suppose once he gets all his teeth...then they'll start falling out and we'll go through this process again!

Thanks again for all your prayers.  We've managed to unpack a few more boxes and rearrange a few things.  The highlight this week was that I found the corningware dishes and ONE slipper.  I'm hoping next week I'll find the other slipper!

Until next time.....
