We're still here!



Here is a "Hello" to those of you who have faithfully and generously still thought well of us, even though I've have been so rudely out of touch!

I have a hard time having anything to say when I have no photos to go along with it!  But, thankfully, I have a few and promise of more in just a few days, so here is a taste of news...

Cady is keeping up with her school and had a fun sleepover last night.  We are thankful for girls her age in our town.

We had a great Thanksgiving celebration and were joined by Brooklyn's new friend and family.  Dasha has been a special addition to our life.


Madi has not gotten outside quite as much as she would like, but as that would require actually living in a hollowed out tree... we do what we can...  She did go ice-skating with her sisters and a great group of friends the other day.



Aubrie made some "armor" for Patches (her favorite bear) today out of cardboard.  Maybe we will have a picture of that in the future.



Roxy has tripled in size and is turning out to be a nice addition to our family.  We are so glad that she is so trainable.  I am thrilled that she puts up with Sam.  She is very gentle... at least with him!  He has discovered how much fun it is to lay on her and share her toys.


We have started an English Club at the University in the last few months and I will have pictures and stories of it next time.  Thanks for your patience!
