Good Saturday morning everyone!!

Up too early on a Saturday, but the furnace man will be here between 8-10 am to do the winter cleaning.
Plenty of this to catch up on today.

Deb, hope you are feeling better. Can't wait to see your FE.

I got to have some baby time this morning. Morgan had been dying to see Sophie, so we went to visit them and I got a good snuggle with Ryan. He's just precious.

Ended up with a migraine this afternoon DH and I were at Homegoods getting something for BIL's GF (we don't even know her name) for Christmas and the aura came over me...came home and crashed on the couch. Now just tired.

Hope everyone is feeling well and is surviving the last minute crunch. We ran out of cash, so I've got a lot to do this next week once DH and I get paid. I can wrap all day on Tuesday and Thursday, I guess.
