Threat Level Midnight: Winter Already

That didn't take long, did it? We speed through fall here in Michigan, and now we're already in winter. I tell Courtney that every winter is the "worst winter ever", but I really think this one might be the worst. Seriously. It's only snowed a few times and I already hate it.

The playoffs start this week in the fantasy football league that I run. It's a pretty big commitment but a lot of fun, so I'm sad to see it drawing to a close. The winner of the league gets their name engraved on a plaque and they get to keep it for the year. As the defending champion, I've gotten pretty used to having the plaque hanging in the office for the past year. I did make the playoffs so there's a chance I'll win it again, but I get the feeling it'll be going somewhere else this year.

The Jerk Store called...

Levi's first Thanksgiving was a lot of fun. We enjoyed the holiday with both the Chapin and Freed sides of the family. A lot of people got to meet Levi for the first time and he wasn't always happy about that. We hope he grows out of the "scared to be held by new people" phase, but I'm guessing there will be more of the same at Christmas. We were also excited to find out that Ryan and Marnie are having a baby girl, so we're going to have a niece in April! Well, I'm sure there's a lot more to share, but Courtney is making caramel corn and I need to go grab some before she packs it all up. There are a lot of pictures because of the holiday and everything, so hope you don't mind. Enjoy the pictures and video!
