Ok, so much for my good intentions. Things have been busy-- but whose life isn't so it's not an excuse for not posting. We are doing well. Thought I'd share what we've been up to and some pictures. Halloween was fun. Cooper was High King Peter of Narnia and Lucy was a monkey. Lucy went around saying Trick or Treat (or a close variation) but only when we weren't at someone's house. Cooper ran into several friends from school.
We had a great Thanksgiving with our bestest of friends, Pam and Phil. They stayed for a week at a great hotel/casino that had a pool, arcade etc. so the kids had lots of fun. We showed them all the real Reno area sights, which are NOT casinos! Yes, we have them and they can be fun, but we also have the Truckee river running through the city, Lake Tahoe 30 minutes away, great restaurants (a Vietnamese one that is as good as actually in Vietnam), and on and on.
Now we are in Advent preparing for Christmas. Quite a busy time around a priest's house. The church had a float in our Christmas parade. It was joy to the world with a giant bottle of joy dishwashing liquid. It was great! I only get one day off of work-- The state of Nevada is Scrooge. Next year I will have annual leave and be able to take some time. The downer of everything is that we are so far from so many people we love. We miss everyone and hope that you all have a great Christmas!
