[thumb:142:l]Thanksgiving?*(*&^)(* That’s not how the song goes, but that’s what we had today. It snowed off and on all day and it made for a beautiful scene in the city and around our house. We had 20 people at our house for Thanksgiving and it truly felt like it was supposed to. [...] [thumb:134:l] Yesterday was a big step forward on the major project that I’m working on. I’m working on a team that is trying to build an Information System for the Campus Ministry in Eastern Europe & Russia.

It was considerably earlier than last year when it didn’t snow until late January. It is always magical the first time. By March it is nothing but dread.

We played at their beautiful new facility. We [...] [thumb:99:l]Here is Kendall as Princess Jasmine last night in their first performance of Aladdin. This was before the performance where she is ready to go. I can’t believe how old she looks with all that makeup on. I’m glad to have the younger version of Kendall back this morning. She did [...] [thumb:101:l]Trent & Reed participated in the Elementary Inventions Fair that ended this past Thursday. Reed’s biggest challenge was selecting between the hundreds of ideas that he had. I’m not kidding, he could come up with 5-10 every time we talked about it. Finally, we picked one that was fairly simple and that [...] Tonight is the night that has been anticipated in our family since mid-August (maybe farther back than that). Kendall (my 12 year old daughter) has a love for performing. It has been fun to watch her over the past few years learn more about this gift that the Lord has [...] It is just about finalized. It looks like Monday, December 5th is the day that I will have back surgery (Back Day). I will have an Artificial Disc Replacement between my L5-S1 vertebrae.
