For a really long time I've been terrible at blogging. After looking through my old posts I realize I never posted about last Thanksgiving and now this one is over!
You'd think I would feel bad about it, but I don't. And while people are very kind to say they aren't tired of my blogging, I've been over myself for quite a long time. You can only say things a certain way, just SO many times. But, in spite of that, this is me trying to kick start this thing again. Even though I'm leaving today to fly away for the first time in 41 years. My eyes are in a constant state of wide eyed, what the heck were you thinking when you agreed to this trip.
In the meantime, Christmas is very close and I've made some progress on buying gifts.
Also, we're adjusting nicely to Caitlin living elsewhere, even though we don't like it. The same with Emma. This past year has seen many changes in our lives. Moving, marrying, pregnanting? Not a word. Baby Jack is coming soon and we will see baby Swander in the spring. Lots of fun things to look forward to.
School's flying by, but not without its challenges. There are multiple kids under the age of six who don't really see the point in listening to an adult. That don't play with me. The other day Olivia was working with me and I said to her, "What must it be like to have me as a parent?" Olivia replied, "These kids are getting a good look at it." Some might think that an insult, but not me. I really really really want the kids in my charge to behave. It's a daily goal/struggle.
Owen's closing in on his finals and looks like something the cat dragged in. He's been studying round the clock and will unceremoniously collapse into his bed sometime tomorrow after his last final.
That's all I have time for now!
I'm closing this out with last year's and this year's Thanksgiving photos.
Peace on earth, good will towards all men.
We really need that.
God bless us everyone and safe travels and good reports for people and animals.
Be back soon!
