Our Family

The Lashlees (James, Laura, Luke, and Ezra) arrived Friday night, just before the big snow storm. We got about 6 or 7 inches of snow Friday night. We also listened/watched on the internet Lipscomb defeat Belmont 97-85 in overtime in the Battle of the Boulevard.

After church this morning we had lunch with the Wanous and Dresden families at the China Palace buffet. Then we went home and watched the Steelers-Colts game. My expectations weren't too high, so I was prepared for a Steelers loss. Then they jumped out to a dominating 21-3 lead. Then the Steelers and the refs tried to give the game to the Colts. We were thrilled to see the NFL's most -accurate kicker miss a 46-yard field goal to preserve the Steelers' win. It reminded me of last year's playoff game against the Jets, except the Steelers deserved to lose against the Jet's but benefited from missed field goals. Big Ben is now the first quarterback of the Super-Bowl-era to lead his team to the conference championship in both of his first two seasons.

Here's a joke that Elliot told recently, apparently one he made up:

Why did the football players say "Amen"? Because they were praying football.

The Moores and Sullivans met in Midland to celebrate Christmas on the day after.
