Update

Wow, where has October gone? I have many photos to upload and sometime soon I will do that. It has been a busy month with school, admin classes, the girls' sports, attending a conference and winterizing the yard and animals every chance we get. Immediately following October, on Thursday Nov 1st I interviewed for a Summer School Coordinator Position, naturally interviewed poorly, it was first in a very long time so I was really nervous. Hopefully now that I have one interview down for administration jobs, I will be more relaxed, especially since there will be more posted in December.

I had a student teacher the first quarter and now he has moved onto his high school experience, so in some ways things will get busier at school and in some ways quieter. I will be teaching for about 5 weeks and on December 18, I am scheduled for another surgery. I will be out of school for 3 weeks (one will be Christmas break) and then start up again, but probably dead tired for awhile.

Mim and Ve will be starting basketball in November and both programs will run until next March. Tuki will continue with the skating since she is still too young to join any formal BB team.

Tuki and Ve's birthdays are coming up in the next two months and Mim's 3 years home celebration will be this Monday, Nov 5th. This year has been a much better year with her than last year. I think all the pieces are finally falling into place and she is maturing.

We are hosting the family Thanksgiving this year since our usual holiday is Christmas and I will be moving very slow at that time.

Other than that all is well around here, busy as always during the school year, but we become use to the craziness that occurs during the 9 months of school.
