November 2008
Today there is a moment to catch my breath, as the first real snow falls here in Minnesota. The kids are enjoying a school vacation day, playing happily with each other upstairs.
October was a whirlwind month with the sudden death of Chris' father in Indiana. Chris was with his mom at his dad's side when he slipped away. The kids and I flew to Indianapolis for the memorial October 11. It was wonderful that extended family from across the country could be there with us.
In the same time frame...an opportunity for a job for me came and went. I was excited at the opportunity, but had to turn down the offer because of childcare issues. I'm keeping the faith that the right thing will come along when our family is ready. Until then...there is lots of volunteer work!
My braces are still on...I've entered the lovely phase of wearing rubber bands! Counting the days until April 2009 when they come off!
We are approaching one of my favorite times of the year...Thanksgiving and Christmas. Looking forward to good times to come!
