What a day, week, month, etc....

Wow! Lots has happened since I ventured onto my blog last.

-Elliot has had his first Thanksgiving, his first roadtrip, his first cold :(, his first snow. He's getting so big and looking older and older every day

-We lost Beth on the morning of Nov. 15th. It was a mixture of grief and relief as we all miss her SO much but are so thankful she isn't suffering anymore and that she's with Jesus. We were able to spend some time with Anndee & her family that day celebrating her and planning the funeral.

-School has been dominating our lives. Petey is super busy with projects, papers, labs, etc. I'm in the process of finishing up my last class through ICCC so I can graduate from NWC on the 19th of Dec. I'm getting there slowly but surely but I WILL be done by Friday (that's reassurance for all of you doubters out there!)

-Elliot has had more appt's in Iowa City for his poor little eye. We're hoping the new meds do the trick & get rid of that darn hemangioma.

-Our place is a disaster. With all of these trips and nights away from home our whole house looks like one giant laundry basket. I'll have to tackle that when my class is done. I'm looking forward to seeing the floor again ;)
