Advent Adventures

Thanksgiving Sunday as the rest of the world calls it. For the members of the Catholic Church it is the first Sunday of advent. Today we get to find the parts of an advent wreath. TJ is not in religious education program any more so he is not making them in class and as a home schooled student there are no craft projects making the trek home on the bus. In the last couple of years I have used a place mat with a holly and evergreen pattern, 5 votive candles in the respective colors. It becomes a challenge to light the one candle; maybe we’ll replace them this year. We are starting a new advent adventure and gift giving event. We have small stockings with our names on them, and small slips of paper we will write what we like about that person, how we Christ in them. Thank them for something they do, complements and positives. We will open them on Christmas Eve to celebrate the light of the world shining in our hearts and lives.

Quick Up Date

We are on pins and chairs waiting for the results of the IQ test for TJ to get in to the gifted and challenged program. He has made huge progress in his ability to stay on task at school. Attitude at home continues to be an adventure. Scouting is still fun and challenging. We are one year from becoming a boy scout. Wow how time flies. I am enjoying my work and the never a dull moment environment of our office. We lost a dear friend and valued team member on January 4, 2009 with the death of Ron Caron. I know that some day or service department will run smoothly again. It may be a long time before that happens but someday it will. My father Stew has joined the Gluten Free world. A bit of a skeptic but recently gave it a test and has proved to him self that the problems on his skin, lack of energy and sinus problems were connected to gluten. My mom Mary and the rest of us are learning about Hypoglycemia. Boy that is more confusing than no Gluten. Together we are being healthier.
