It has been a while since I last posted. What can I say??? Life has been busy.....
The girls have been busily working on their final English Essay, which basically accounts for 90% of their grade. Rhaevyn is preparing for the Christmas program with the orchestra she plays in. Aeva was asked by her Japanese teacher to help illustrate her next packet for the Fall Japanese class. The younger kids and I are plugging along on schooling and drum roll please...............

Meg is officially potty trained!!!!!!!

I dropped off the last three quilts the day I attended the Remembrance Ceremony at the hospital. I am so glad I went. I met some really nice people who share the same grief. I can't really put my feelings into words of what a relief it was to be among people that wear a very uncomfortable coat much like i do, and it's really hard to explain I guess unless your reality is that of losing a baby. I think it was just what I needed.
This is the quilt that my visiting teacher had done, and I just had the easy part of sewing on the binding.

Myles did a science experiment on elements and leavening. Best part is that we got to eat the science experiment when he was done. 

I'm sure so much more has happened since I last posted, but I can't seem to think what I'm forgetting.


This morning after a breakfast of plain, and banana, pancakes we scooped up the leaves off the back cement patio and then brought the Christmas tree. We put some Christmas music on, set up the tree, and decorated the tree.

 Myles wanted this angel bunny on the tree this year to feel like our little one was a part of all the celebration.

 Myles worked on setting up the train around tree.

 Aeva was tuckered out after decorating the tree.

And now it's time to start Thanksgiving dinner. We had everything on hold because the gas company had to come out and check a possible leak. Thankfully it is nothing catastrophic and should be an easy fix. The kids are happy we can still cook mashed potatoes. This has proved to be an exciting Thanksgiving :)
From our family to all of yours....................we hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
