Thanksgiving

Tom was able to come home for Thanksgiving. We had dinner with our "Missouri Family". Wilkinsons, Palmers, Duncans, Smiths, Magnones, and Robertsons. There were more people than would really be comfortable in any of our homes, so we had dinner at the church and invited anyone from the two wards who didn't have any where else to go. There were 52 people there. And it was too cold to let any of the kids play outside. so it was a very good idea to have it at the church. (good idea Barb)
Jim went home with the Roberstons, they have a son, Alvin, who is just younger than Jim.

Friday was a quiet day at home, we had the Plmer girls over so Mom and Dad could go "steal" some cars. (for those of you who don't know, they reposses cars for their living).

It snowed during the night making it a cold morning to go shooting. Tom, Jim, Lex palmer, Tim Crim, Jared and Alvin Robertson all got to go and do some male bonding.

pray for us.

I just want to ask all of you who check in with us through this site, to pray with us. We are looking at some housing options and would appreciate any prayers on our behalf.

Thanks. lw

I'm even

I was talking to Tom on the phone, watching the girls squash their bagels, before putting on the creamcheese, and told Tom, "his girls were odd". Janet jumped up and stated that "she was not odd, she was even!". She went on to explain that she is 6 years old and 6 is an even number.

school

I just want to share with you some recent happenings from school.

In math, we are working on factoring and my teacher told me to give myself a pat on my back, I am doing better and catching on better than the rest of my class. I am the only one in there(now that we have had a few dropout) who has not been in highschool with in 5 years.

I just did an assignment and made it work for two classes. One was a 5-7 minute speech on any topic of our choice using five sources. The other was a 5 page research paper on any subject of our choice using 5 sources. My subject: South Dakota. I did the speech last night and got 92/100, and in English our papers were returned to us, I got 12.5/15. Definitely a good night at school.

Carolyn and Katie

Carolyn and Katie were in a production at their school this week. It was titled
Elfis Goes West with Lewis and Clark; A truly silly and slightly historical fantasy for young voices.

Carolyn was a reindeer and Katie was one of Santa'a elves. They both did a fantastic job.
