Thank you for
- a great school celebration for Día de los muertos where students created and tried new foods while learning about a cultural holiday.
- a make-up trick or treating day to spend time with family and friends collecting sweets from neighbors.
- A championship win (and undefeated season!) for Coach Daddy and QB Greyson. What a well deserved and hard practiced season by all players and coaches it was!
- Skilled doctors who can find problems and fix them for those we love
- an evaluation for Gemma with a neuropsychologist to see if we can get to the bottom of her struggles in school and ultimately found that although she has challenges in several spots, her overall scores did not point to any diagnosis which is great but also frustrating.
- A veteran's day breakfast and assembly at school that inspires me every year - but this year especially as my sister, Kayla, came to speak to the student body about her time in the National Guard. She did such a powerful job that students still mention and ask about her. I am so proud to be her big sister. (love you, Kitty).
- pregnant-friendly sushi
- a great partner in End-of-Season banquet planning (thanks Becky for all you did and all the calls you made!) The banquet went off beautifully and a good time and full bellies were had by all. The official close of the football and cheerleading season!
- our first Project Lit book club meeting at school with students to discuss Monster by Walter Dean Myers. We had snacks and great discussion and a mix of students from all different kinds of groups and grades. Oh I love books and how they bring people together. (thanks for organizing and encouraging me to do this, Renee! so grateful to work with you).
- a perfect cozy birthday weekend getaway at Seven Springs to celebrate my dad (Chum) and his 60th birthday. The kids splashed in the hot tub, we took a walk, we all snuggled with Lady, and enjoyed great food and laughs.
- a successful fundraiser for our Spanish Club and a few really productive prom committee meetings that finalized the raffle fundraiser and confirmed the venue.
- book club with ladies I love at a new-to-me restaurant that was incredible.
- our two big kids who have been so kind and generous with helping with the chickens each morning (opening and closing the coop and taking down and bringing up the waterer so that it doesn't freeze).
- a mini road trip for our family to Hershey to see Jurassic World Live and get an afternoon with our Gilmore cousins that always makes us happy.
- the start of basketball season for Grey and the NOT start of basketball season for Coach Daddy (yay!)
- the sweet melodic sound of the fourth grade recorder concert. (hah, but seriously I loved it and Grey was really proud).
- the ultrasound that told us we are having a baby brother!
- our midwife (and cousin) who is honest and patient with me with news, questions, and updates about our newest babe as we passed the half way mark this month in pregnancy!
- a thanksgiving day with family that filled our bellies and our hearts
- the opening of rifle season (deer season continues!) I'm not particularly thankful for this, but I know my boys are - so my gratitude extends by proxy
- the arrival of our elf Marco and Christmas decorations lighting up our home and all the guilt-free hot chocolates and Christmas 'kissing' movies a girl can dream of
