Student of the Week

Julian brought home this sign today. I asked him if he knew what he'd done to get such a great award. He said "I don't know, I think it's because I held the door open for like 99 people."

Thanksgiving 2009

We spent Wednesday - Sunday in Magnolia at my sister Allison's house. My mom, sister from TN, and brother were there as well for the long weekend. On Thanksgiving day The Dale's, Hoffman's and extended family joined us for a very fun day. We had great food, hayrides, and a slightly aggressive football game (we were all feeling a bit sore the next 2 days). The Dale side is hoping the Hoffman's will all come back for a rematch next year.

Beauty is...
Julian entered a reflection contest at school. Students were asked to use a form of art to reflect what they see beauty as. He drew this picture and said:
"Soldiers have a beautiful heart because they leave their families to protect our country."
it warms the heart, doesn't it...

I know it's too early for holiday music but I might not get another post up for a month (or more). So a week early on Christmas music isn't too bad.
