Happy Birthday Dan!

Yesterday was Dan's birthday. I made him breakfast and coffee in bed (which is a big deal since neither of us usually eat breakfast in the morning), he went to work and had free cups of coffee from Caribou and the other coffee place at Best Buy, and then we had dinner at McCormicks downtown. I thought it would be fun to go bowling, see a movie, or even go sit in the hot tub at the gym, but Dan's idea of a fun birthday was to go home and watch Chuck and go to sleep early :) He's probably resting up for going to Mankato tonight to be with the rest of his family and our two nephews. The boys are busy right now at ages 3 and 1 1/2.

In other Totman news, Dan's parents sold their house last week! They have been listing it for sale by owner and the same guy who was interested back in August ended up buying it on Friday. We are all very thankful that they were able to sell in this market and now the fun begins to find them a house near the cities. On Sunday we went through 8-9 places in the Minnetrista, Mound, Minnetonka, Plymouth and Shokopee areas. They are hoping to find something by January 30th.

This past weekend we had Tom and Becky's baby shower at the cabin. We had a few games that we made the guys play alone; like how to properly diaper a baby doll (the favorite quote from that game was from Jon: No fair, my baby has clothes and arms!) and a drinking from a baby bottle race (its harder than it looks!). Becky is due in January, so not too much longer until we meet a new Houle!

Thats all for now. It will be fun to spend one last holiday in Mankato before Dan's parents move with the entire family, and then see my family on Saturday at my sisters house to celebrate Dan's birthday.

Happy Thanksgiving!
