I can not believe that next week is already Thanksgiving. This year has flown by way too quick. Harold and I have so much to be thankful for this year. Not only did we celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary yesterday, but, Jeffrey has almost a clean bill of health. He has had no problems from his stroke and we have no one to give thanks to but God. We go back on December 4th for another MRI and are praying that the blood clot is completely gone so that we can get off the blood thinners.
Harold and I were both off work today so we did a little Christmas shopping for the boys. It is much easier to shop without them. I can remember many years where we would go to Walmart with the boys in tow and pick out toys to put on lay away. We would walk around the store and they would point out things that they wanted and while one of us entertained the boys in the video game department the other one would go around and gather up all the things they had picked out and take them to the lay away department. They never saw anything, yet we had finished our Christmas shopping right under their noses.
I have also done really good with getting alot of things for free to give a Christmas gifts. I was able to make a 20 page, hard back cover photo book for only $7.57 shipping. It is amazing what you can get with only paying shipping.
I hope to have more pictures to load next time. Now we are off to have our anniversary dinner.
Love you all!

Elvis is in the house!!
Okay it has been forever since I have updated!! We survived Halloween and I even have some pictures to show.
Jeffrey decided that he wanted to be Elvis this year. We colored his hair black and he even practiced his Elvis moves to show everyone.
We had never let Jordon dress up scarey but this year he was a Skateboard Zombie. He decided that he was a little too old to trick or treat so he rode his bike with some friends and watched everyone else get all the candy. It was kind of sad to see that he was really growing up. It is hard when your first one wants to quit doing things cause he is TOO OLD! That makes me feel too old!!
Baseball season is drawing to a close next week so our evenings will be alot quieter. I have started a new job! I'm a substitute teacher for MISD. I never in a million years thought I would work in a classroom as a teacher. I always pictured myself in the office or library but not the classroom. I LOVE it though. The kids are so much fun. I even substituted in a kindergarten bilingual class this week! That was a little bit of a challange but I survived.
Other than that not alot to report. It is hard to believe that the holiday season is fast approaching. This year has flown by. We will be celebrating our anniversary in just 2 weeks. Miracles never end. Even with all the stuff we do and places we go and lack of time we have just to sit and breathe, I would not change my life for anything. God has been so good to us and I can take no credit for it at all.
