Much to be Grateful for

I am so grateful for Covenant Life School. The girls have such wonderful opportunities. The week before Thanksgiving was full of lots of great stuff at school. The week started with Alethea going on a field trip to Rose Hill Manor. The class got to learn about what life was like in colonial days. There were many neat things to see. A working kitchen, with no stove, only a fireplace, colonial games, homes, transportation, and much more. I love this first picture. Alethea's teacher is sitting down to a tea party with some of the girls.


The next day there was a Thanksgiving feast at school. The teachers planned such a wonderful day for the kids. A huge feast for lunch, Alethea's class put on a play, Mikaela's class performed Five Little Pumpkins, they got to play Indian games, and do lots of arts and crafts.



The following day, was a highlight for me. I had the honor of being with good friends as they had their 6th baby. I was so blessed to be able to be there with them. I've never been on the other side of labor and delivery. Wow! God is so amazing!

Another thing I'm grateful for is siblings who love to be silly together!

Happenings

I'm going to stop apologizing for not blogging. It's just one of those things that gets pushed to the bottom of the list. Life seems to be flying by. We are in the groove of school, and may therapists coming in and out of the house. I think we've realized our new normal. I've missed a lot over the last few months, field trips, Disney on Ice, field day at school, picking pumpkins, and never finished vacation, but I think I'll just try to keep up from here on out. The best news we've had recently is that Sarah's latest MRI came back clear. Still no cancer! We are so grateful. I'll just leave you with a few pictures of some happenings lately.
