Much to be Thankful for!


Happy Thanksgiving!

Though I have been listening to Christmas carols for the past week or so, I was still able to enjoy the holiday. We had a wonderful day with the grandparents. Spencer and Sarah are still in Canada, Les is hunting, and Wendy and Michelle were somewhere else, but the rest of us chowed down.

It was special to have Lucas with us, finally, and to enjoy time with the grandparents. I am so thankful to have them with us here!

Otherwise mom, Lucas, and I have lazed around-not doing much of anything! Can't beat that? I hope you all had an equally as enjoyable holiday! Be sure to check the web album for more pics!

A jaunt through the woods


Last week Mrs. Cairo and I took our kiddos to the forest for a hike. It was the end of our unit on forestry and turned out to be a great day. We took 60 kids and only one fell-much to the surprise of my sister Cheryl and Lucas who were betting on 10 kids down! Ha-take that! There was minimal whining and the weather even cooperated! It was a great day and Tonya and I always have fun when we can get out and about!

Otherwise things have been going along just great. Tonya and I had our big veteran's event on the 6th. The kids did a wonderful job and the turn out was outstanding. Mom and Les came down and they brought grandpa too. In the end we had about 250 veteran's and their families for the dinner. It was a lot of people! Grandpa said he had a very nice time but next year he wants to help! :) Of course!

Lucas has been busy working and moved into a place of his own. We are headed to P-town for Thanksgiving this week, a small crew made up mostly of grandparents, so it should be a nice day.

Hope you all have a great week and wonderful holiday!
