We're still here

We're still alive and well, just very busy. It snowed Sat. J's first snow. He was beside himself with excitement, like 6:30am, knocking on the bedroom door excited. When he found out that he had snow boots and snow pants he was even more excited, if that was possible. More on that and some pics later.

J's basketball team won both of their games on Sat. They are 3 and 0. I still don't think he "gets" all the rules and stuff, but he loves being part of the team and is learning a lot. He gets right out there and plays.

A's dance recital is coming up. She is loving having a car to drive and will look for a job in Jan. She's doing all right in school but struggling with "proofs" in her geometry class.

R's plans are coming along. We think that JT's staph infection is better but it looks like he'll be "recycled" at least to some degree. Communication from him is spotty at best. Pray for him. R's books should be here soon and we'll set up a way to order them. She's doing okay at school but not as well as she'd like. Obviously her mind is on other things.

T's foot got the weird blister thing with all the swelling and itching for the third time now. We have no real idea what it is and that's very frustrating.

I'll post pics when I can. I've been busy making Christmas treats, sourdough bread, and vests for the wedding. All of us girls (mom, the girls and I) got together yesterday and had a vest cutting out party of sorts. We got the first one cut out and realized that we didn't have any interfacing. Sigh...we scrounged up enough to make a child sized one for J but after all that, it's awfully small. Huge sigh...and so it goes.
