Thanksgiving

I keep looking here for someone better equipped than I to have posted pics of us all at Thanksgiving. Maybe even the results of Chad's ill-fated trampoline flip.

My girls are currently having after-supper self directed craft time. This evening it evolved into making dozens of tiny umbrellas out of cut up egg cartons. A few larger "umbrellas" were designated for the "baby Jesus" who is wrapped in swaddling scarves and lying in a box under the "Christmas tree"----a truly dreadful looking 3-foot potted pine. Aunt Kendra would, I think, be happy that I have a Christmas tree for the first time in my life. My, my, how very enculturated we are....

New blog

Hey family and friends. I started a new blog to add something to do in my large quantities of spare time now. It's not a public blog, which means you have to be invited to see it. So, if you haven't been invited and would like to be, you can send us an email at simanelle@gmail.com and I will put you through a rigorous application process to see if you qualify for an invitation. :-)
