Thankful November

You know life is getting rough to keep up with one you have one post a month. Sorry. #notsorry. I want to keep this blog up, because I treasure it and I pray someday my children will to. But right now, life is moving at a pace faster than I can blog so bear with me. I'm trying....

November in a nutshell was basically some random outings, basketball, Thanksgiving, Keaton's first Thanksgiving Feast at Prek, and the preparation for Christmas....at the end of November.

So here we go.... November in pictures...

Keaton's first Prek Feast


Colton's team played at halftime of the Varsity Boys Basketball game in early January. While he was fun to watch on the varsity courts....Keaton was obsessed with Freddie Falcon! We topped the night with a quick drive through Lowery's Christmas lights in Reynolds.
Thanksgiving break was also packed with fun -- we got to see Wonder, which was a book the 4th graders had been reading. We of course took all the siblings, and had a great time. This movie is a wonderful message for the kids, and they all love it too! We added in some hunting (lots for daddy, some one on one for each of the kiddos), some tractors and videos about tractors, and of course, decorating for Christmas and it was a great break. Oh, and of course, LOTS of turkey. We visited the Hall's this year at Aunt Dee & Uncle Dan's, and my kiddos were the only great grands there -- so naturally, they were spoiled rotten! We also visited with Grandma Jacki and Grandpa Brad, as well as the Robinson's!




This bunch is a wild gang, but a fun group of siblings and friends. With Wings, Etc being so close to Faith, it was a quick spot for lunch between many basketball games!

Get Well Soon, Grandpa Kent

 Here's the best way to share Dad's video. Thank you all so much for submitting the clips. This really made him smile (and say some funny things the first time we watched soon after anesthesia). I think it will be treasured company this evening in the hospital. Thank you for your prayers, your thoughts, for answering the phone calls and lifting Dad up. We appreciate all your love and support.  58E2238E-D2E3-4B38-9FF6-AE1E502ABD14.mp4

Covid ... the end. (Hopefully. Maybe. I really don't know....)

 Almost two years ago, exactly, our world drastically changed. Everyone holed up at home, scared to enter the world and catch Covid 19/Corona Virus. (Except Jason, once he got to feeling better from most likely having Covid before it was a known thing, he just went to work everyday like nothing had changed). The world basically shut down  -- special hours, curbside pick up encouraged, no dining room service only drive through or carryout. If someone coughed or sneezed anywhere near you, you were instantly suspicious. Our parents lived on complete edge and worry, taking in every ounce of information the news was constantly throwing in their faces. It was a time of great uncertainty, lots of information being thrown at us from trusted news sources, social media, and hearsay from those in the medical profession.  We spent March to May just trying to figure out our new life. No baseball. No softball. Lots of time with our animals. Lots of crafts. School from home. Porch drop ...

April - Hey Batter, Batter...

April is always the month that makes us think spring is FINALLY here, because it's starting to warm up, suns starting to shine more, except when we finally get to the baseball/softball fields, it's just as cold as it was in February. Thankfully, Emmalyn had an indoor sport to carry us through the cold of the month, until baseball/softball really got kicked off! Emmalyn tried something new this year and participated in CiVic vollebyall. This is a club program out of Carroll County, and she practiced every Sunday from January through April. Finally in late April she had three play dates. One Saturday we played up at Fairmount, IN. Grandma Jacki, Keaton and I went with Emmalyn, while Dad, Grandpa and Colton cut down some trees in preparation for our spring projects. Emmalyn and Mae Ella did a wonderful job for their team, both rocked their serving and seemed to know the game and keep their cool better than some on the team. The second weekend Dad, Em & Mom traveled to Triton H...
