If anybody has been trying to call us and are constantly getting a busy signal, it's because our phone service is not waterproof: almost every time it rains or snows our phone goes out. (Because there were heavy rains on Thanksgiving, we've had no phone service since then.) A Verizon tech then comes out after a few days, "fixes" things (or the wires dry out by themselves), and we wait until the next rainstorm to knock it out again.

So if you ever get a busy signal trying to reach us, it's because Verizon has yet to waterproof our line. Or something. So drop us an email or call our cell phone instead.

4. Amelia celebrates receiving mint with "the yummy dance."
