Let's Have a Look-See

We enjoyed a weekend of our grandson. He kept us all busy.  The weather was nice. So we Christmas'ed the house. We were happy to have a little helper. Although, not a lot of help here.  Enjoying some movie time. Ready to go home. And for the record, he was not the only one to come home for a turkey dinner, just the cutest.

I have two words for the weather this week. Cold    Windy A week ago, I thought these little flowers would make it to Thanksgiving. I guess Mother Nature had a different idea. We did get a snowday out of it. Thanks to the freezing rain. I can't believe I just said that.

We are having a beautiful fall. I am enjoying it very much. I have a question. I am working with a 5 year old who is writing writing up-side-down and backwards. I know that backwards is totally age appropriate,  however, the up-side-down thing???? It is fascinating . If you have ever worked with any one with this issue,  would you please contact me. I ask everyone I know that works with children. Thanks. 

So my life the last couple of weeks has been overflowing with people dying. We had a co-worker, who has struggled with depression for many years, take her own life. We had a child at the middle school take his own life. Then we had a 9 year old girl die from being kicked in the head by a horse. Then, to my greatest surprise,  a very dear friend of mine, lost her daughter. I have prepared food, Sent cards, Held hands and cried with people, Covered for people so they could attend funerals, and Attended a funeral. This is what I know. God lives and he loves us. And that when our hearts get so heavy that it hurts to breath, That Jesus Christ, the Savior of the World, will carry our sorrows. We do not know how long we get to live on this earth, but I like to think we will be happy when we leave it... and that there will be a beach there. Love you All

I love coming home to this every day. I know, I should have Wes clean it up, but it is so pretty and easy to step over . So I say, Welcome Fall. I was lucky enough so spend some time with my mom. She brought me photos. Some of them really old. I asked her if there was another picture of her great grandmother, that didn't look like this. (If you know what I mean?) Her reply was, "No, that's what she looked like." It made me smile.

We went to Utah last weekend. Callie went to the temple, she is not going on a mission or getting married, she just went. We enjoyed the beautiful weather. We hung out with this guy. He loves having everyone around. and reading books. We went to Soda-lishious  in Provo. It was good. We enjoyed conference. There has been some debate about this picture. You decide  --- napping or praying? And one last picnic, in the parking lot, with my favorite people.

We started journals this week. I can't help but post these, they truly warm my heart. the zig zag in the center of their bodies, is their stomachs. This child understand the digestive system. This is my only girl, with her dog. Kinda reminds me of cloths pins. This child is new to our school. Long story, but he is new to school at 7 years old. I asked what were the names of his cats, he said he didn't have any cats.  I haven't met his family, maybe they look like cats. Love these happy faces. We will do the writing next.   It's always sweet to hear how much they love their families.
