Finally, an update from Iowa!

I know it has been ages since I've posted, but life does get busy. We had a lovely Thanksgiving in Minn with Dad and Mom, and Jathan was able to come home and be with us. Since then, everyone is frantically trying to finish all schoolwork, get ready for finals, work on piano and basketball, work, shop, and get enough sleep to make it to vacation. I am not sure how all of that is progressing at the moment.

Tom is working lots of hours and still wondering why we live in Iowa where it is cold in the winter.

I am finishing up this semester at school with 8 days to go (maybe 9).

Kayren is finished with 3 finals and has 2 more to take. She is working on her piano pieces for the recital.

Lorien is playing lots of basketball, practicing piano, studying for 7 finals that she will take next week, and wishing she could be 10 again when you didn't have to take finals!

Aleya is "blissing" in the fact that she just does her school for the day and she is done. She is practicing piano, getting excited about January Upwards Basketball, and shopping for gifts for all the kids.

Oscar just spends his time shedding.

We are all looking forward to Christmas vacation when all the college kids will be home and we will have a wonderful family Christmas together.

Y'know...Adam and I have the solution for that :)

"Oscar just spends his time shedding."

HAHAHA!! Isn't a dog's like lovely. I often look at Lacey, who gets to stay home and sleep all day, and I think, "Who arranged this deal?"
