With the holidays coming up, it is not uncommon for things to get busy. We will have a lot to blog about in the next few days! In this post, we will talk about what has been happening and what is planned on the horizon. In the words of Flo Rida, "Here. We. Go."
Things have been going well overall in the family of N. JT ended up with a staff infection on his leg which required a visit to the doctor who eventually lanced it. He is on medication which the doctor put me on as well simply because I have been a little sick and have had a splenectomy. It seems we have been passing around a little sickness as Shawna has it now but I think all will be well soon. There are more blessings in life so we don't let the sickness bring us down. JT was able to go with the youth group on some kind of terror adventure last night in honor of Halloween so he is doing fine.
Shawna has been busy at work enjoying her job but still enjoying the commute even more! She is getting ready for some reaccreditation at the school so she has been thoroughly busy lately. She still works hard and keeps the house up and dinner on the table. She has been having a cough lately but seems to be getting over it now. We hope so!! She is still working hard on her paper and it is moving along (maybe not as fast as she would like for it to move).
Kaylee has been learning to play the flute and getting pretty good at it. She has been healthy lately for which we are thankful. She still has a lot of personality and is our little social bug. She has been working hard lately to take care of her parents when they have been sick and has an ability to relate to little babies. She is always thoughtful of others and wants to pray for so many people at bedtime. She had a good report card this last time and has been working hard in school.
I too have been working on the big paper and it is moving along decently well. Work has been real busy as another worker in the office has been out and the rest of us have been working hard to make up the work in his place. He is dealing with his mother who is near the end of this life so we are mindful of his situation. I also have been working on a project at home which Kaylee and I started. We are scanning a lot of our old photos into the computer to have them in a digital format. So far, I have a couple of mission trips from the mid-nineties and our dating days as well as our wedding completed. It is going to be a long project but I think it will be worth it in the end. Kaylee is enjoying working on it with me. I think she is enjoying my stories associated with the pictures as well as seeing her parents look so young!
Next weekend, Shawna and I both have to work some and we have a retreat at a nearby facility with the congregation we attend. The weekend after, Kaylee and I are off to St. Louis to see Straight No Chaser in concert. The weekend after, the family is off to another state for my father's 60th birthday. My sister will be turning (...insert number here...) the same day but I don't think that will be the emphasis that weekend! Then, the weekend after that we will be returning to the same state to Shawna's folks for the holiday. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday of the year! I have so much for which to be thankful. All of this will make for a busy November and then Christmas and the New Year will be upon us. Whew! "Here. We. Go." And it looks like we will have a lot to blog about.
