Week of Thanksgiving

I don't have pictures of the clan on Thanksgiving. Kevin has his own stellar camera and he took the pictures, but they haven't been downloaded onto the computer. And frankly, I don't want to touch his fancy camera!

Here is a picture, though.


First Daniel cut her hair, mostly the bangs.   I worked on it a little and tidied it up. Then, like a fool, I bought some sticky putty for the three little ones and the pink putty ended up in Rose's hair. So I cut off more.  Now she has a very cute, short pixie cut.

She's always adorable, whether her hair is long or short.

Isaac and Lydia are finishing their college classes this upcoming week.  I have to arrange for, or take, Isaac to class so that will be nice. Next semester he has 2 classes but they are scheduled back to back so it will work out well.

One of these years, he will learn how to drive. We haven't even started teaching him yet and it is rather an arduous process.  Besides the actual "teaching him to drive" part, we have to do 40 hours of driving WITH him, plus we will have to pay for an expensive 8 hour driving course.  If we wait until he is 18, he won't have to do all that.  We can just teach him to drive, he'll take the test, and pass (we hope) and he'll be done.

But with more college classes next fall, it would be good if he could drive.

We'll figure it out.

Tomorrow is a big day as our 4 oldest kids are getting baptized at church!

It is kind of strange that they haven't been baptized before this as all four have been saved by Jesus for many years, but we just never had quite the right time for it. So tomorrow is the big day.  We're excited for them.  Baptism doesn't save a person, but it is an important step and it is a Biblical directive for a true Christian so yes, we're happy.

We took off school this week (except for Isaac and Lydia, who kept toiling away with college classes).  I got quite a bit done in terms of cleaning and tidying room, washing floors, etc.

This morning, I was working on school prep for the upcoming week and Rose played happily on the floor by herself with Duplos for like an hour. It was incredible. It was very nice.
