Sad times at the Jones

A few sad things have been going on in our house hold lately.
First, of all my car doesn't like to shift between 1st and 2nd gear. This makes driving tricky some days.
Second, we still have not heard anything on Rick's med school interview. The paperwork we were waiting on is finally verified, but the school may not be able to access it this week. Which means we may have to wait until after the school's holiday break to find out the verdict. (I'm learning some patience with this one.)
Third, I was trimming Katie's nails the other day and cut her thumb. We stopped the bleeding and she seemed to be fine. That is until she was playing with her thumb the next day and it started bleeding again. In the end, I put a band-aid on her finger so she wouldn't get any more blood on her clothes. (see blurry pics)
Finally, Our good friends the McArthur's are leaving today. They are off to their next journey in life, which involves living in North Carolina. It is sad because we have become very close to them. It is hard saying goodbye to people when you don't know the next time that you will see them. We do have some security on the matter. We are watching the items they left behind. They have to see us again, just to get their stuff!! We would like to thank them for all the dinners we did together, the advice that they have shared, and all the down right good fun we have had together. We love you and will miss you dearly!!!
