Still here... a short update!

Life has been busy... but we are still here!

With homeschooling and preparing to host Thanksgiving here
this year I have had little time to blog.

Now I am sick and David is sick,
so this week has just been spent in survival mode...

I have much that I desire to do to celebrate Christmas with my boys...
several fun ideas for celebrating advent,
but we haven't started any yet due to our sicknesses.
Hopefully after a restful weekend we will all feel better...


I did want to share some pictures of our Thanksgiving celebration...

The boys made place cards for everyone...

The cousins feasting at the kids table!

Grandfather all bundled up to watch everyone play soccer...
we had to burn off some of those calories we consumed!

The backyard was transformed into a soccer field!
All had lots of fun!

Thanksgiving evening we put the tree up
and all the kids helped to decorate it!

The Schmid cousins...
David, Timothy, Katie, John, Paul

Grandmother and Grandfather...
with all their grandkids!

The whole Schmid family,
except for Aunt Susan, who is in Africa
serving our Lord...

Paul and David ready for Christmas!
