all things expected and unexpected

This week was as expected and unexpected all at the same time. Which always causes stress, but don't distress it is what keeps life from being boring. Just the way we like it. If we have learned anything there is no point in worrying about tomorrow, it is not here yet and we can not control what happens in it. Don't regret the decisions of yesterday, you made the decision you thought was best at the time. All we have is today and now and we have to make the best of it. I find that by approaching life this way the expected and unexpected doesn't stress us as much.

Honora continues to grow and move all the time. She has started to her best rendition of the scene from Alien.

Naya has decided to embrace being a big sister. She has found the box of baby toys, her favorite thing to do with the toys is to lay them out on Christi's belly so that Honora can play with them.

Fionna had a Daisy/Brownie meeting meeting. She had a great time the girls made pumpkin pie shakes. She also went on Thursday with Mel( Christi's friend) to SJC to have a manicure and pedicure. What a big girl and she did a great job helping Mel feel better. I will explain latter.

Dreigan had a relatively normal week for him. He has decided he is into origami. Mostly he uses any and all paper he can get his hand on to build paper bases for his army men to play on.

Christi found out that out of the 12 head start/ early head start classrooms out of 25 classroom in San Juan County that were to be selected to be audited hers is one of them. That means all the little things that have been put off now have to be completed. They are scheduled to arrive Dec 1,2, &3rd. This means all Thanksgiving plan are completely in the air. On Tuesday her mangers will come to check the classroom, if it is up to par she will have a half day on Wednesday and Friday off. If they are not satisfied then time off for Thanksgiving will be canceled. They are also holding Christmas bonus until this time or after the 3rd, the bosses are telling which. She also had to go to new leader essentials for the girl scouts. As crazy as it sound Christi had some of the most years in girl scouting out of the dozen or so women in the room. Most of it was review of what she had learned a an older youth scout and from BSA. She did learn a new song.

Nick says he is happy that him and Christi have passed the American average length of a marriage in America.

Donna is doing better. On Friday she took Starlight to the vet. The vet said she could do a series of expensive treatment for his cancer, liver failure and renal failure or she could put him down. So at 12:15 on Friday Star joined Smudge in the care of Noah. Fionna decide when smudge died that Noah takes care of the animals in heaven, and who is to say she is wrong. We are relieved that our dear friend of 15 years is no longer in pain.

Other news:
The kids have been recruited to help in Bloomfield Methodist's Christmas program they will perform on 13, 14, and 24.

We have set a baby registry at Wal-Mart

Last please keep Melody Buser in your prayers. She recently has been going through a series of personal issues that have been very draining on her. Earlier this week though it became more, it was discovered that she is in the early stages of uterian cancer. Do to all her health concerns she has opted for a hysterectomy after Thanksgiving. This would not be so upsetting if Mel was not yet 30.
