Seems a while since I last posted and we have had our ups and downs in our family like everyone else! I hope everyone had a very nice Thanksgiving as we did. I spent Thanksgiving Eve trying to hem a pair of pants for Andrew. I thought I had bought the magic stitch witchery but had picked up the wrong stuff....it took me a long time to get the needle threaded and then hemming, well, lets just say I am way out of practice. As luck would have it, the minute we walked into church, the hem fell out. Oh well, worst things have happened! We went over to Bill's parents for bagels and coffee and went through the sale papers with them. I had written out my shopping list last weekend and knew what I wanted to go get. We ate at Ryan's this year instead of cooking because we weren't sure of our plans until the last minute. I sure missed my Mom's stuffing and everything else! We had a nice day though and my favorite part was handing the dirty dishes to the Ryan's waitress!
Bill and I went shopping yesterday. We did not really run into any crowds except at Dick's Sporting Goods. I waited in line for about 30 minutes, not once, but twice here! We are all done shopping though except for ONE hard to buy for person who shall remain nameless...Mom.....I just have to wrap now and get some things shipped. I am WAY ahead this year compared to last year and yes everyone I will wrap before Christmas Eve this year!!! (Caroline is smiling....)
We have been doing alot of running around with the kids here lately but have managed to get them where they needed to be at the right time. Bryanna tried out for All-County Orchestra and All-County Chorus and was chosen for both of them. She is 14th chair for the violin section and 1st soprano for the chorus. It is a wonder how my musical abilities got passed on to her especially the singing part! She did really great and we are so proud of her because she worked really hard to earn these spots.
And yes, we are still playing football! Andrew's team won the Eastern Division Championship last Tuesday. I could not make it to the game because Bryanna had a concert at the high school. My mom and dad, Chris, Caroline and Bill all went to the game though and the Seahawks won 14-0. Their next game is Saturday, Dec. 6th where they are competing for the Southern Division Championship. I am not sure where the game will be yet or the time. If they win that game, they will play for the State Championship so keep all of your fingers and toes crossed for them!
On top of everything else, our sweet little doggie, Chewy, got sick last Sunday so we ended up taking him to the Vet Emergency Room. He had some kind of intestinal flu and had to have a bag of fluids inserted into him because he would not eat or drink. He was feeling much better by Monday and was back to his usual self on Tuesday. His buddy, Snickers, was even worried about him when he was sick. They are both looking forward to seeing Santa even though Chewy will have alot of explaining to do......
Take care and have a great week!!!
