Thanksgiving

School is going well. I've really been encouraged by the progress the kids have made in their academics. We've also done a science co-op with some friends that's been a lot of fun, and plenty of outside activities have kept us on the move. In spite of our busyness, we're really enjoying our kids. They're at such fun ages right now, and we're just so blessed by them everyday.

We had a great time at the fair, and were able to share the experience with extended family. The kids love being with their cousins, aunt, uncle, and grandparents! Brother won a stuffed panda for his baby sister. The big kids are so sweet and loving to their baby sister. They are so good with her and love her unconditionally. She definitely tests them at times!


J has gotten very serious about gymnastics lately which hasn't helped our busy schedule. K and B also take gymnastics, but only recreationally. They opted out of basketball this year, but B is looking forward to spring soccer. Piano and drum lessons are going well. K and B will perform together at the Christmas recital this year!

A highlight this fall was the baptism of our oldest daughter. Her daddy had the privilege of baptizing her as he did her brothers before. It's been so neat to watch the children grow in their relationships with Jesus. It's amazing to see Him working in their lives in spite of us.

We have so much to be thankful for!

Until next time....
