A Little “Us” Update

Nothing unusual happening around here, which is why there hasn't been an update lately. Kaitlyn now has the cold/cough, but she is fortunate to now have a week to recuperate. She made it through her field trip yesterday, although I ended up picking her up from school at about 2:00 because she couldn't stop coughing. Shelby went with Stacy shopping this morning, and I think she about shopped her mommy into the ground. Go, Shelby! Shelby has also come out with more "Shelbyisms," but we may still be a couple of years away from being able to publish some of them. Benjamin is hoping to get to go hunting this week. He has been enjoying his FFA stuff at LMS. He did very well in the competition a couple a weeks ago. He had the sixth best individual score out of 50 represented middle and high schools.

Then, there is Emma. We may have to coin the term "Emmaisms" before it is over. She just keeps coming out with stuff, and we're all like, "Where did she come up with this?" But this morning was priceless. She was in her high chair eating breakfast and we hear her say, "MOM, TELL BENJAMIN LEAVE ME 'LONE!" I think we know where she got that.

We are right here for this holiday. We're doing a Christmas tree blitz this week, probably going to string some lights on the clubhouse, and just planning to enjoy a slower pace. Be thankful, everybody!
