We've had at least ten people in the house at all times since I got back from my Christmas trip home. It's been pretty hectic around here, but in a good way. Jesse's parents flew in from Oregon so they've spent a lot of time at the house with Jesse, Sky, and baby Byrom (who is getting bigger EVERY day - it's amazing). We've also had some of LA's peace corp friends here. It hasn't exactly made it easy for me to get up and go to work this week but it's a small price to pay for the good company. Evening activities mainly consist of playing catchphrase, drinking wine, and eating fantastic food. The other night Jesse's parents bought a huge ham and served homemade scalloped potatoes and I made a green bean casserole. Last night he made two crockpots full of delicious chili, enhanced by the Reed's soon-to-be-famous hot peppers. It was the perfect thing to have around with people coming in and out of the house all day.
It's great to have parents in the house. In addition to eating well, we are also enjoying improvements to the house. Jesse's dad fixed a drawer, helped keep the front door closed, and then went around and insulated all of the windows in our place, which should make a huge difference in our gas bills! You can see the plastic bubbling out constantly which makes me realize what a draft we had coming in every day. We may not get much snow but it's cold and windy here in DC!
