Not creative enough to come up with a title

    Well, I am still here, even though it has been  7+ weeks since my last blog post.   

So, in no particular order, here are some of the things we have done over the past two months: 

• attended a wedding


• attended a funeral


• voted


• made autumn fairies


• learned to play Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star on the recorder


• went camping


• went ice skating


• began rehearsals for our children’s Christmas program at church


• finished off our formal academic studies


• got Advent candles before all of the stores were completely out of purple

Now, we get really busy, during this last week of November:

• Tomorrow is Lulapalooza’s 9^th birthday


• Thursday, of course, is Thanksgiving


• J~Man celebrates his 11^th birthday the following Sunday, which is also the first Sunday of Advent.
