Fridge trouble...again

Our refrigerator hasn't exactly had a good year. When we came home from Florida last summer, after two weeks of being gone, we discovered that our fridge had stopped working...very shortly after we left. It had absolutely blossomed in the worst way you can imagine. After several treatments of bleach water and a new relay, we gained enough confidence to use it again.

Then, while Kris was in Cambodia in October, I noticed our ice was melting. This time it was the compressor. A few hundred dollars later (thankfully, it was a really cheap fix for a compressor!), we were able to use it again.

Then in the last couple of weeks, we noticed that the freezer was not keeping our ice cream solid enough. (You'd think we'd also notice the frozen vegetables being soggy, but no...it was the ice cream!)

This week, Kirby's Appliance Repair came again. This time, the compressor was diagnosed as insufficient and Kirby's came in and replaced it since it was still under warranty from last October. They didn't have us pay a cent. The boys were mesmorized by the repairman, and wanted to be right there watching. I was concerned that Thomas would wear the repairman down with constant chatter like, "I have a Duckie! Daddy took Duckie to work today! He needs to be careful doesn't he, Mommy? What is that tool for?" The repairman was very cheerful, however, and must either have children or just genuinely enjoys them, because he just smiled and answered. Here are Daniel and Thomas watching the action:
