Bug's Log

Here are gathered tidbits of family news and recent changes to the Krutulis Family website.

• Our old Log has been replaced by a Shiny New blog!

  Joe finally found software that he likes--coded in Ruby, of course. Come on over and feel free to comment whenever you would like.

  And yesterday I finished Quilt #72.

  Christmas is coming! We picked out our tree yesterday at the Optimists' lot. (You guys have the best trees, Tom!)

  
  

  The children are having fun decorating. With the lake frozen over and a beautiful layer of snow on the ground, we are definitely in the Christmas spirit.

  Who needs electricity?

  
  

  We returned home last evening to discover that the power was out. An automobile accident had knocked out a transformer.

  After eating a make-do dinner, we gathered around the fire to read. Henry, playing his new birthday harmonica, added to the pioneer spirit.

  Snow!

  
  

  The strong south wind brought snow this morning. Henry finished his breakfast in record time, suited up and was out the door to do his happy dance.

  
  

  And Emma made a new friend.

  Black Belts!

  
  

  Congratulations to the newest first and second degree black belts in West Lafayette! They have all worked very hard to achieve their new rank and we are very proud of them!

  The cold air blew across the prairie Tuesday night delivering temperatures in the teens. The wind was intense and a little scary, but this morning's sunrise over the partially frozen lake reminded us that every season has its own special beauty here.

  Code Warriors

  
  

  Kira and Max are spending the day learning HTML. Their petition to suspend other school work for the day was granted. Code Poet Dad could hardly refuse such a request. You can check out the results of Kira's day of coding by surfing on over to her web site. AND Max's work can be found here.

  Happy Veteran's Day to all the Gensic and Krutulis Vets! Thanks for your service defending this great country of ours.

  Pop-Pop and Grandma arrived today bearing an heirloom birthday present for Kira

  
  

  Pop-Pop built this beautiful dresser using some of the oak that Joe and I salvaged from Pete's Bar before it was demolished. It will be a family treasure for generations.

  Thanks, Pop-Pop!

  Mmmmmmmmm! Exotic tea!

  
  

  My family knows how to spoil me with simple pleasures. For my birthday this year I received a beautiful teapot and a different green tea from each of them. They know what I like!
