Best Day Ever!

Today is one of the BEST days ever!!
Scott and Brianne arrived this evening for a quick visit!!
They are here until Sunday evening!!
And to top it all off Bretty came home from school tonight and met us for dinner and is spending the night. I have all of my 'kids' under one roof!!
It is so much fun to be all together again. I love to listen to them talk and just watch how close they are to each other. I am so blessed that they are not only brother and sister and brother, but best friends.
I know I will be all sappy and silly and the kids will go crazy and give me lots of grief-but I don't care I am just so glad to see them.
I hope to take lots of pictures and store up lots of hugs-let them go crazy because of my silliness-life is short and we have to enjoy what we can when we can, and be thankful for the blessings God gives!!

Bretty's Home!!

Brett is home for a few days for Thanksgiving break!! We sure have missed having him here. Daisy especially!! She thinks she is a 55 lb. lap dog.
Basketball and school have kept Brett super busy, and he has really gotten fit, he has lost 25 lbs!!
The 'boys' went out yesterday to try to find some tall straight trees to place their tree stands. Deer season is just around the corner and they want to be ready!! Last year Brian put up his stand and horror of horrors, the honor code amongst hunters was broken!! He went to check it before opening day and someone had stolen it, so now they lock them down tight. I guess they will if they can find a place to put them!!
This morning they were up bright and early bird hunting. Do you note a recurring theme--HUNTING.
To welcome Brett home I had to give Daisy a treat. For some very gross and sick reason she loves armpits, yes pits, gross I know but what can I say?? She also LOVES peanut butter--so I managed to sneak up on Brett and smear a little PB in his pit. Daisy went crazy and Brett giggled like a little girl.
I never really get one up on him so now let's just say I am watching my back for retaliation.
P.S.
Fall has come just in time for Thanksgiving, Monday it was 79 and sunny, Tuesday 70 and today 36 and cloudy-Brrrr-we even had a tiny bit of frozen mist!!
I will have to write about our Thanksgiving after tomorrow, we are expecting 6 of Brett's B-Ball buddies and yesterday Brian picked up our own home raised just for us Turkey. It was alive yesterday morning-hmmm

Traffic!!

OK!! I have now been living in Kansas since April 2005 and today was the FIRST time I was in slow traffic on the freeway!! I went into Wichita this afternoon for a much needed haircut and hit rush hour traffic on the way home. Really it was dreadful--I sat in slow(30 mph) or a bit of stop and go traffic for 10-15 minutes!!! The agony of it all!! Then it was back to 70 mph and clear all the way home.
Good thing I have a fun new car to help me handle all the stress!!

Whew!! Home

What a wonderful time I had working back with Dr. Rossi and gang! Dr. John sorry about the dent-it should be better by now!!
It kept me out of Nordstrom-no shopping for me this trip.

Since I have been home I don't think I have a moments rest-whew!
I picked up my new little car Saturday night, and even though it is not a manual transmission I LOVE it.

Sunday was a full day at church and I got my first homework assignment-27 jackets to embroider for the Tabor girls Basketball team-no problem-except they needed them by Oct. 31st! I delivered them and got to see Brett's townhouse. The townhouses are beautiful & brand new! My tour was REALLY quick, although I did have time to slightly clean the bathroom--icky.

Grandma's house is done, her appliances have been delivered, boxes moved to the garage, garage door opener installed, her new bedroom stuff should arrive on Tuesday so I guess we'll see!!!!
She is feeling a little bit better, they couldn't get a piece of the mass in her lung to biopsy, but what they got looked good and she will have another CT in Dec.

Brett got some really hard news----seems due to a shortage of full time credit hours he will be ineligible to play for the 1st semester. He is still practising and traveling with the team, it is really a big loss not only to him but for the team! He is one of their BIG MEN and is looking at alot of playing time once he is eligible.
I keep thinking back to his SR. year and that broken wrist that occured right before playoffs-this kid has had to learn character in tough situations.
More to follow soon!!
