We had a lovely Christmas, complete with a huge dinner, gluten-free apple crisp and 3,561 new Lego blocks coming to live at our home.
It's after Christmas that the shit hit the fan.
Friday night we had a horrible storm, which knocked our neighbor's 20+ foot tree into our yard, toppling the honeysuckle trellis and three evergreen bushes.
The storm also blew off a few of our roof shingles, which we now need to figure out how to fix. Fast.
Saturday, Tuckie the Turtle passed away. We're all very sad, Griffin took it really hard. Both boys are dealing with it better today, but it was rough telling them.
Then yesterday both boys woke up with pink eye.
Two thousand and eight has not been the best year. And she's doing her best to be a mean, evil bitch the last few days of her life.

I'm so sorry for your loss...it's so tragic and sad to loose such an important part of your family. I hope that you're all able to recall the happy times in your moments of sadness...
And good luck with the shingles and the tree debris.
And Happy New year. (dammit)
Oh no! Sorry about your turple. And your roof. And, um, the pink eye. New Year in 3... 2... 1...

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear about Tuckie and the whirlwind of natural disasters. At least you have legos to soothe everyone until the New Year arrives.
That wind was something awful.

Sorry about Poor Tuckie. I liked that fellow.
Sorry to read about Tuckie passing. I enjoyed your posts about him. Thank goodness the damage wasn't worse, at least that's one good thing about 2008, right?
Goodness! Just a few more hours!

Hope that 2009 starts off better than 2009 ended. Happy New Year, friend.
