Hannah was excited to ride the pink pig for the third time in her short life.  It is a ride that has been in Atlanta for decades and the money goes to support Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta.  It is basically a train ride with an engine that is a pig!  Sam and Nicole joined us this year as our annual trek first took us to Maggiano’s for lunch and then off to ride the pig.  Oink, Oink! ’till next year!

Every year, on December 6th we celebrate St. Nicholas Day by giving our family a stocking with candy and small gifts.  We are remembering where the tradition of Santa Clause began: A young man who wanted to take care of the needs of others. 

Here are the kids dsc01218.jpg

Was super!  We had a great time with “GranMarnie” in Richmond, VA and then enjoyed Kami’s family in Akron, OH.  And we got some snow!!!  Not much but just enough for the H.G. and Ethan to think it was a winter wonderland!  Thanks God for the dusting!dsc01088.jpgdsc01086.jpg

If anyone will actually come see my truck instead of just call me about it….. it might sell!!!  

 And why can’t computers just work all the time and run fast?  Arghhh…

I almost had the truck sold to some guy named… “Jesus” (he was Hispanic)… and he still may buy it. And another person wants to see it on Friday! Please God send the right buyer!

The past couple of weeks have flown by!  Cannot believe that we are in November.  Thanksgiving is in a few weeks (I’m ordering snow for Akron!) and Christmas is around the corner!  WOW!  Crazy isn’t it!  I love my family!

Hannah building a step stool at the Home Depot! She really did a good job with the screw driver and the hammer!  Grandpa is proud I’m sure!  (’cause his boys weren’t very good builders!  haha!)
