Wow!! IT has been a long time since I was here and updated. Things have been pretty quite on the home front. Saturday we went to see Santa Claus. This is the first year she would get close to him. She was really excited to go and wanted to wear her dress. How could a mother say no to that request. She said she did not want to sit in his lap, but would stand beside him. It was very sweet. She told him she wanted a baby doll, which was not on the original list. Guess I'm shopping for a baby doll now.
Saturday evening we met my brother-in-law, sister-in-law, and nephew at the Japanese place where they cook your food in front of you. The kids really enjoyed it. Cailin was asking for no more big fire and my nephew was asking "Again, Again". Cailin did master the art of chopsticks. She tried using mine, but that was not working. Our waitress brought out a pair for her with a rubber band tied around the end and that is all she needed. She was eating salad with them. The only time she put them down was for the rice. She was not getting very far on the rice and she picked up her fork. But when it was time for the meat, she picked up the chopsticks again. The couple next to me was very impressed. I was to. I didn't even attempt the chopsticks. Of course, none of us had a camera, but I brought the chopsticks home. We'll try to get a picture. It was quite impressive.
It has been a hunting season ever since we moved to KY. Now, deer season and duck season have overlapped. Matthew is hunting both. I am trying to do our Christmas shopping, but I have a "teller". We bought Matthew a little stocking stuffer and she told him. She can not be involved in the shopping any more!!LOL!
I would also like to ask for your prayers. My Pa (Mom's dad) is about to lose his battle with cancer. I just ask that you pray for him and all of our family. It is so hard to let go but he has suffered long enough. It is time for him to go home. Please remember all of us.
Good luck in all your Christmas shopping!

What a beautiful, beautiful photo! It looks like something out of a magazine.
You know, I never did quite understand this thing about hunting. I didn't eat the game, but all the men in the family(except my son-in-law)thought it was great. Thank goodness, the only thing Tobe hunts is quail and an occasional pheasant.
I certainly will keep your family in my thoughts and prayers.
Cailin, I hope you like what the "Hoosier Santa" sent you:-)
