Sorry it's been awhile since I've posted. I've been busy trying to finish the basement rearranging, working on sewing Christmas gifts, and preparing a class Jonathan and I will be teaching on Saturday. (This is for spouses of recruiters at an annual training conference.)
There are only 2 1/2 more weeks left in the school semester. We have our stand by passes to get to the Pacific Northwest for Christmas. If things work out, we will be arriving very early in the morning of Friday, Dec 21 in Seattle. We will be able to visit with friends there before we head down to Oregon to spend time with Becky's parents. Jonathan's parents will be visiting(from Sacramento) for a few days there too. It should be a wonderful time.
Jon Paul will be marching with the Boy Scout troop on Saturday in the local parade "Light Up Senoia". They will also have a booth to sell fried Twinkies. This must be a Southern thing as I've never heard of it before. I think I'm glad I will be in New Orleans and won't have to try one.!
Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and a time to reflect on their many, many blessings.
(PS- I haven't forgotten I promised to post more photos. I will get them done-- sometime. I still have an annual family newsletter to write and several embroidery orders to do before we leave for the Christmas holiday.)

Honor Chorus Concert
We are just getting home from the Honor Chorus concert. This was a regional chorus, that included students from 28 middle schools- including Naomi.
All of the kids did a wonderful job. Wish you could have been here to hear it. We did video some of the concert with our new camera, but I haven't seen it yet. And unfortuately, I don't know how to post a video-- sorry.

Reorganizing house
Usually it takes me about a year after a move before I start to rearrange all of the furniture- but Denise and I are trying to reorganize the basement and living room, after only 3 months here. Jonathan and I bought a treadmill and now it's up to Denise and I (since we are the ones at home during the day) to work out a place to set it up.
The basement was only partially unpacked from our move. So things need to be finishing being organized, put into storage, etc. Which means also having to straighten things out in the garage to make room to store the Rubbermaid boxes. The living room part comes in because we want to move the TV to downstairs and set up a desk upstairs for homework.
Anyone want to come and help??? The hardest part is figuring out how we want to rearrange things- without a lot of chaos and clutter.

Drill Meet 3 Nov
Jon Paul and Jonathan traveled to Montgomery, Alabama on Saturday for the JROTC's first drill meet. The team took 2nd place (out of 35 teams) in the Inspection & Standard Drill. This is when the uniforms and basic knowledge are checked and the team performs a set of standard marching moves.
Once I get the camera downloaded of the photos Jonathan took, I'll post some. (Still have to post one from the Halloween party too.)

All Hallow's Eve Party
Christ the King church held an All Hallow's Eve party/festival last night. There were carnival type games, costumes, hay ride, face painting, candy (LOTS) and a short worship service. I will be posting some photos later. Everyone had a great time.
Please remember those christians who are in places where it is dangerous to meet and worship.

Recommended Book
I just finished reading a book that I would like to recommend to you. It is "Eve's Daughters" by Lynn Austin, published by Bethany House, 1999.
It is the story of four generations of women- their struggles, their crisies of faith and their triumphs. For the book's summary- -"Yearning for love and dignity, four generations of women must come to grips with the choices they've made. And those their mothers made before them. But breaking the cycle that has gripped their family over the decades will prove more difficult than they have ever imagined." (Read that to mean it is a great story, but have a box of tissues handy.)
