did you miss us?

so apparently i took a 6 month hiatus from this personal blog.

my bad!

to catch you up quickly, i'll provide three bullet points per Schensted.

Andrew

• has had a very successful first year at Bethlehem Lutheran Church. they adore him and the feeling is incredibly mutual. 
• continues to board game like no other. we have quite a collection coming along, many of which are two player games so we can game on the regular.
• continues to be a seriously awesome cook. AND he cooks healthy things, which is awesome. now that it's winter again, we are having soups pretty regularly and i love it a lot. 

Lisa

• has been spending a lot of time on my YA lit blog. i've also taken on a little side project blog to help share debut author books with bloggers. 
• has been crafting and making bookmarks and other fun things. i'm slowly amassing paper and punches and all sorts of fun things! next step, a cricut. :)
• started a new job at Sanford in Jackson. i do scheduling of appointments, work with different specialists in the outreach area of the hospital, and generally do what i can to make sure patients get in and out without a hitch. i love it a ton.

Albus

• is now a full grown puppy. he's just about 28 lbs and is back in the sweaters for the winter. thankfully the ones from last season still fit! he's got a great temperament and is happiest when he is in or near a lap.
• we discovered that he has a fear of gourds/spheres. see the video as proof. 
• he had to upgrade to a larger office to accommodate his growth. he now goes in and out without whimpering. this makes life significantly easier for everyone.
