First Snow

This sweet little blog of mine that started all those years ago with little little girls - I love this space and I proud of all of the memory keeping I've done here. All of the thoughts, all of the events, all of the holidays. It's so wonderful to have it all recorded. 

And I haven't been on here in so long it seems. I've just got to catch up. What have I been up to? 

~ November as a teacher means writing report cards, cross checking data, making sure I've got it all right

~ November means preparing for parent/teacher conferences next week

~ November also means decorating for the holidays. I like to be all done before Thanksgiving (except for our real tree) so that I can really enjoy December instead of it flying by. It helps me to have that time of decorating freed up so that I can have a fruitful Advent. 

SoooOooooo life has been full but I certainly don't want to neglect all that is going on. I have so much goodness to capture and remember here. 

I think I'll start simple with just one picture and then keep going each day as much as I can. 

Abigail texted us a few videos this week and this picture: 

It was the first snow even though there wasn't a flake of snow here, where she was, the magic filled the sky and I'm so glad she included us in the joy. 

Abigail update: In case you missed it, Abigail is in college. She is over-the-moon happy with her college choice (and her mama and daddy are too). She is rocking her first semester classes, has met some really special friends, and is very involved in Grace Notes (she plays the viola at Mass), and Catholic Campus Ministry. She often goes to a mid-week nighttime candlelit Mass, Confession, and Adoration. She will be majoring in Social Work and minoring in Catholicism. Right now her hardest class is Catholicism and her 'easiest' class is Philosophy. Her dorm room is adorable we love to visit and take her out for lunch when we can. Miss you Abigail and see you for Thanksgiving!
