Merry Christmas Vacation!

So my gift from Dustin last year was a replica of the Advent house from Christmas vacation (to be completed by Christmas 2009). Well still a couple of finishing touches and in true Dustin Kreifels form he did about 90% of the work in the last month, but nonetheless here she is!

Before you ask, yes, it’s awesome looking from all angles.

Resemblance?

Here are some more assorted pictures of Ruth’s first couple days, introductions to family members and horseplay with the cousins.

November 3 at 5:00 p.m. we went to the hospital and at 11:30, FINALLY, our daughter Ruth Raymond was born. Weighing in at a respectable 6 lbs 14 oz and stretching to 18.5 inches, Ruth has been mostly tuckered out. Kreifels toes, McCoy hair, Kreifels nose, McCoy ears.

Boy are we happy that she’s finally here. And she arrived two days early–probably the McCoy genes. Can’t wait to take her fishing! Thanks everyone for your prayers and well-wishes.

Toes!

Us Three at the Hospital

How Ruth has been spending her entire first day

Just look at all that dark hair

Yawn, not a yell

Peekaboo!

Marissa’s Last Day (as it Turns Out)

And here’s Marissa, unknowingly going to work on Ruth’s birthday. What a trooper!

It’s Go Time!

Marissa is on the ball with decorations again

Gotta hand it to her, she won’t let a little thing like generating offspring keep her from keeping the house clean and its decorations up to date.

We got new countertops and sink at the end of May. Dustin and my bro masterfully installed our FABULOUS faucet and a new garbage disposal. We are loving it!

Before...

Merry Christmas From the Kreifels!

Merry Christmas

Well another year has passed along with a few more changes for the Kreifels. Dustin now has a year of practicing law under his belt. His latest passion is homebrew — we’ve got a basement full of brewing accoutrements and empty bottles. Next up, wine brewing.
Marissa left ConAgra Foods in April and is now working at TD Ameritrade. Oh, and about the broken foot, who would have thought a slip down ONE step the first week in October would STILL be reverberating. It took three weeks before we knew that the foot was broken, and then there were six weeks in a walking cast, unable to drive. Marissa’s out of the cast now and wearing something called a “rocket sock.” Still not anywhere near 100%, but making progress. Hope to have dancing shoes back on in another month or so. I could survive the slip’n’slide and can’t walk down a step??
Work around the house has slowed the last few months with the bum foot, but we did get more painting done this year and a lot more planted out in the garden. But for now, we’re loving being in the middle of the holiday season. The Christmas decor is over the top as usual, thanks to some extra help since ladders are currently hazardous to Marissa’s help. Dustin outdid himself on the outdoor lights as well. We have a busy schedule of holiday happenings up until Christmas, so the season is going by WAY too fast as usual.
Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and a very Happy New Year!
-Dustin & Marissa

Busted Foot

thekreifels — Sun, 05 Oct 2008 12:01:47 +0000

So took a little tumble heading out to our garage on Friday morning and managed to land in a really unfortunate manner on my right foot. Friday did not go according to plan and I ended up working from bed, before making a trip to West O with Dustin to see some friends (a trip in which we blew a tire, also very unfortunate). Woke up yesterday morning unable to put any weight on it, so I’ve been alternating hobbling with a cane, crawling and as of this morning rolling up (smart girl, busted out the office chair) down our hallway, but mostly sitting with ice and doing NOTHING. Not much improvement so far this morning — still can’t put any weight on it and I’m meant to be meeting the girls again…. Not timely what with furniture being delivery this week and then we’re off to CO this weekend. Luckily Matt was over yesterday and helped move some furniture around since I certainly wasn’t.

Enjoy! This is the ring around the shamrock effect made its debut yesterday….

ouch....
