Just a couple of things.

1. We had a great Thanksgiving. We ate lots of good food with family. My favorites dishes were...well just about everything. Trevor's homegrown turkey exceeded our expectations.
2. Candice and Quinn went home today. We will really miss those guys. Asa, Kyran, and Silas are so cute and have the funnest personalities. Asa and Kyran are complete opposites but they compliment each other perfectly. They are going to be great brothers for each other as they grow up.

 Emily and Asa (he is so mischievous!) 
Kyran (he loves food!)
3. We are sick again here. Oh well. It happens. Trevor just left to buy me cough medicine. He claims that he's doing it so that I don't hurt but maybe it's because coughing can be annoying to bystanders. (I know the former is true, by the way.)
4. We just ate Chilis chips and guac and salsa together. It is so so good and cleared my sinuses up for a time.

(trevor looking goofy; me looking sick, and unkempt.)

5. Taylor Swifts new album "Red" is so so good. Me and the girls love it! It may become our favorite of hers. She has a concert coming to Salt Lake next summer and we are keeping our fingers crossed that we get to go (it worked for Annabelle). The album came with a book, guitar picks (unfortunately they can't be used on violins) and a poster of Taylor Swift. That is one talented girl. She wrote or co-wrote every song she's ever sang. Amazing. And my girls are filled with Taylor facts...

And I never mentioned that Trevor had a full week off from work. We had a great time and have decided that it is imperative that Trevor gets a work-from-home kind of job. However he has a great job now and has no intention of getting rid of it. We just really enjoy being together. And those 3 hours in the morning while kids were at school were...fantastic.!.

And now I'm going to go lay down, read my book (which is still awesome), and wait for Trevor to get home.

Dog and Cat...Stevens, that is.

Lately, Carl is the only one who gets naps. (unless it's Sunday...then Trevor and I both demand one) If I was a big, hairy dog, I would expect naps everyday also and would just lay down where ever I wanted to (even it it was in everyone's way). You can just catch a glimpse of my moccasins. And trust me they.are.cute. I love  madewell . My new favorite singer this week? Cat Stevens. It took me watching the movie Harold and Maude to really listen to his music. Wow. And hey, I'm not going to be shy.  I'm going to sing out to the wild world that I love his songs. (if you also like Cat Stevens, then you'll understand the previous sentence...)

Prayers

We have just received news that earlier today my sister Amy and her family have been in a car accident. Tim and the five kids are okay, although banged up, but Amy is in the ICU. They hit hail while driving and the car rolled 3 times and Amy was ejected from the car. All we know so far is that she has broken ribs and  punctured lungs. Please, please please pray for her and her family. Thank you.

Ralph the dog.

Morning at my house is so bright and lovely~that is, as long as it's not snowing or preparing to snow. I made Annabelle open the curtains first thing this morning. When my mornings start out like this, warm and bright, it just makes me happy. Today Joshua decided to be a dog. A dog named Ralph. And Ralph loves raspberry sherbet. Ralph got really tired and is now resting while watching Shrek 2. Not my favorite movie but whatever... I think I misspoke yesterday when I wrote that I/we had big decisions to make. There's nothing out of the ordinary except for, you know, the usual. And the fact that we found out yesterday that both girls need braces; Emily now or at least soon and Annabelle in a year or so. And Stephen has possibly two developing cavities. At this moment in time, I am very, extremely, incredibly grateful for dental insurance. That may not be the case in a few months but I'm not thinking about that...and I'm trying to no...
