Thanksgiving weekend ...a Picture Walk

Everything is out of order but here is our weekend...

Our annual trip to the Festival of Trees

This is her new smile.....great huh?

Don't they looked thrilled to be on the train? She said "CHOO-CHOO" the whole time.

We snuck into Santa's chair

Thanksgiving with the in-laws

My nephew, me and my sister in law.

Sis in law with my father in law

J with his Pop-pop

(Not a Thanksgiving pic but my boy has read 25 hours for school....yay!)

And last week we played in the leaves and the tree.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

News

Life has been a bit crazy the past few weeks. At school, it was American Education Week, a week full of visitors in the classroom. It is exhausting. You have to be "on" every minute of every day. You never know who is watching. Not that we aren't "on" all the time, but who wants to have a full week when you are being watched and scrutinized? Glad it is over.
The next news is that my Nan fell and broke her hip again. She had surgery and is doing well despite contracting pneumonia as well. They caught that early and she is recuperating well. Prayers please. She is slowly forgetting who we are. She is telling some cute stories that we know aren't true but boy, does she love to tell them. She loves seeing J and Miss M and they really cheer her up. If only she really understood that they are two of her precious 11 great-grandchildren.
Now for the really bad news. Two weeks ago my father in law was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Since he has many other health issues, they are not going to try surgery or chemo since that might be worse on his body. Needless to say, we are all devastated by this. Please pray for strength for Paul and his family. It has been tough on everyone, especially since his time left with us is unknown.
J earned his Bobcat in Tigers the other night. I was so proud of him. I even got welled up. I am such a sap!

J and Chief Akela

Our Tigers!

Halloween 2010

We had a great Halloween. Julie and Tim came over. We ordered pizza. We only trick-or-treated to a few houses in the court. The kids loved handing out candy, hangin' with their aunt and watching "Its a Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown". We made good memories and that is very important to me!
