Our First Snow of the Season!



Yeah!! This morning we woke to find a beautiful white filling our eyes in each direction. It had snowed a couple of inches. Granted, by now, it has mostly melted away, but I can guarentee there will be more snow in the near future. Here is a cute photo of our kids... goat kids that is in the snow. They werent too keen in walking in it at first, there is now a little path for them to walk.


Thanksgiving

It's the holiday season!! My favorite time of year. Time with family and friends, decorating, giving, and lots of eatting. ( I get to, I am eatting for two, remember).

We spent Thanksgiving with Eric's parents this year, mine were in Cali, spending the day (and a few weeks) with my grandmother and other family.

My parents are bringing up my grandmother in a few weeks to spend Christmas at our house. We are very excited, it is going to be our first tree in our house! I have missed having a tree, or a time to decorate the house. Grammy is going to spend four days with us prior to Christmas and then my parents will be joining us for Chsitmas Eve dinner. Look forward to more photos coming as the holiday season progresses.

HI

I'm so sorry that it has been so long since the last update. Life is going great though!! I am loving Kilo. A lot has happened there since my last update. I got hired as a 6th grade teacher of soc. st., math and science. Though about 4 weeks ago, our PE teacher got her dream job as a high school health teacher, and took that job, leaving her PE spot open. Then our 8th grade science teacher REALLY wanted that spot, so she took that spot, leaving that science spot open. When I was offered that postion I jumped for joy... that is my qualification, that is what I spent two years going to night school getting my masters for... science! So I took it. Though that position came with 2 PE classes (a 6th and 8th grade PE). Of course this left my old 6th grade spot open. My friend PJ took that spot, she was the last one left from the 'bad school' and she of course said yes in a heart beat. The only bad news was that that principal at the other school messed everything up (there are of course much stronger words that can me used ;), and didnt release PJ for an additional week, past the agreed upon date. So I had to teach my new 8th grade class, learn PE (which I am still struggling at but enjoying) and make sub-plans for a week for my old 6th graders. Let me tell you... that is tough!!! and stessfull!!

Eric is doing well. We did get his new car, but the dealership that we were going to get the orange car sold that car two days prior... and this was after a Eric put a down payment down. (words....) So, we got that money back and went elsewhere to get a car. We still got him the Dodge Caliber, but in black with red highlights inside. It is pretty sweet. :) Other then that, he is still going strong at Microsoft and his band is doing great. They have another gig this week.

We have started the slow, and I mean slow process of remodeling our kitchen. We bought a new sink. hehehe... yes, you can laugh, but those that know us know that we literally take things slowly, but we do eventually finish our projects, (we have so many). Money and time... we can all relate!

Nothing new on the baby front. I go to a specialist each time I visit my OB. I am considered high risk and get two checks each month to check for any problems.

All the other kids are good. Nautalis cuddles under the covers every night, now that it is getting colder. The goats are good... so cute in their little houses. Chickens are good too, though we havent let them out recently. There has been a lone coyote out in the area, we saw him twice in our yard about a week ago.

I'll send pics of halloween later this week after I tweek them... hehehe. Though I will give you a heads up... Eric picked them out. ;)
