Random Thoughts From the Dornfelds

-We've always enjoyed daylight savings time, especially the fall back one...now, not so much.  We no longer get an extra hour of sleep, but one less since Svea doesn't transition to the new schedule as fast as us lugs do:)  Poor girl, we keep trying to keep her up later, but she's had to resort to crawling over to her crib, pulling out a paci and bunny and curling up on the floor.  Oh man, poor baby...we put her to bed then:)

-Dan has a new Batman game.  If you'd like to get a hold of him he's in our basement!  He's very sweet, however, always completing a couple of chores before he goes down.  It's a sweet gesture, or he's feeling guilty about all of the minutes he plays.  Don't worry folks he'd need to play 3.6 more hours a day for his gaming hobby to become an addiction:) When he's not gaming he's rolling around on the floor with his sweet little girl, helping with the mounting chores, or spending some quality time with his wife.  He's doing a good job with balancing it all....hopefully soon we'll have a permanent associate pastor, although our interim pastor has been wonderful.

-If I could be any animal I'd choose a bear.  This time of the year they curl up in a cave with their little ones and snuggle, sleep, and play.  That's what the storybooks say right? What mama wouldn't want to snuggle up with their family for the cold sleepy winter.  I laid in bed last night feeling depressed and I could not for the life of me figure out why.  Then, it popped in my head.........it's balmy, bleek, and gets dark at 5!  Daylight and vitamin D do so much for us....I forget every year when it leaves me!  Time to start dreaming about the sun!

-We get to welcome a new nephew next spring....a boy for Stuart and Megan.  We are elated to welcome the first Dornfeld boy to finally carry on the name and can't wait for March to get here. Grandpa Dean is breathing a sigh of relief as are his sons:)

-My Step-Sister, Dannielle and her boyfriend Eric are moving to western Wisconsin just past St. Paul.  We are excited for them to be closer to us so its not as hard to get together!

-As we buckle in and get ready for winter we are so thankful for what we have....for each other, for our health, our jobs, and stability.  We are thankful for our wonderful families, chances to laugh and spend time together, and opportunities to have fun.  Geez....I'm feeling so sentimental lately I guess:)
