A Houseful of Help

We have had Tim's sister Julie with us since Wednesday. She's been a good sport about doing the dishes and the laundry and the kid wrangling. We also had Tim's sister Joyce and her husband Dave with us this weekend. Joyce, Dave, Julie and the kids took the train downtown to the Christkindlemart on Saturday. Today Joyce and Dave braved single digit windchill to take the boys sledding. (Julie declined the offer to go sledding.) Joyce, Dave and Julie also got a little Christmas shopping in at the mall this afternoon, which gave Tim and I some space to ourselves. Our house was beginning to feel very small with so many extra people in it.

Tim's new drug routine seems to be doing a good job of managing his side effects. He was able to get to church this morning with Joyce and Dave. Being able to attend mass with our community meant a lot to both of us. Thanks, Joyce, Dave and Julie, for making that possible.
