The new "men" at the Craig house

We have had some additions to the Craig house.  A few weeks ago when Emma and Nolan got home from school, Todd pulled Emma aside and introduced her to her new best friend...Steve. He told her that she and he would be spending a lot of time together. Although he provides limited entertainment, he sure seems to have captured Todd's attention. Since he's been here I have only been able to interact with him 2-3 times. Todd and Emma are fascinated with him and are constantly with him. Todd even called me the first day he was at the house and went on and on about how nice he made everything smell!!

I guess it's time to meet Steve....doing what he does best.

Our other new addition is Willie...the water heater. A few weeks back we could tell that the hot water was not lasting as long as it should. Accusations were flying as to who was using all the hot water because some members of the house were left in cold showers. It was all about timing, no showers could be taken back to back or when the dish washer was being run. In a family of four who only have several hours after school and until bed to get things done, it was getting tricky. We finally broke down after assessing that it wasn't able to be fixed economically and bought Willie.


We are all clean, warm, and happy again.
