I am sure that everyone is ecstatic to know that the Thompson Blog site is once again being maintained.  It has been a busy last couple of months, but January has brought a little lighter load and that is great.  We celebrated Luke's birthday today by going shopping and then to Red Robin.  He gets a free birthday burger coupon in his email every year.  Although, I tend to wonder if they realized it was him that stirred many complaints by those women that heard the incident, they may revoke his membership to the birthday burger club :).  Yadi is getting big and curious, and her teeth and claws are as sharp as ever.  I used to not want her to grow up b/c I didn't think she would be as cute.  Now I am craving the day when she is a little more calm.  Of course I still love her and let her share my pillow at night.  The purrs put me to sleep!  Mostly all is well and I don't think I could ever ask for anything more than God has given me.
