catching up

I took some pictures and pasted them together in a panorama view of the snow-capped himalaya mountains from the top of our mountain. I think you might be able to see a slightly larger view of them if you click on the picture.

Here's a popular activity- doing mazes with a dry-erase marker. Mazes forever! ;)
And Annie has spent many days screaming at me until I relent and hold her (but she insists that I stand while holding her or else she will scream in anger!)

screaming screaming screaming, sobbing sobbing sobbing. Doesn't it just make you want to cry?!

This is how it feels to cut teeth and be sick all at once. Just ask Annie. Needless to say, our house has not had a very pleasant atmosphere for awhile.

So we escaped and dressed up fancy for a date to the Junior-Senior banquet a few weeks ago.

Now it's Thanksgiving day and Annie isn't screaming at us anymore (something for which we are thankful!). In fact, we're all feeling better except maybe Nate who is just coming down with a cold and he's had to teach all day. For the record, I AM very thankful to God for far more things than I can count or list, so I'm not going to try to recount them today. Hope you enjoy the pictures from our lives here. We miss our families and friends during this holiday season especially, but we are well and we are thankful that God has allowed us to be in this place at this time.

Happy Thanksgiving.
