Well, it has been a while since I have posted anything, so I thought everyone might enjoy an update. We are all doing well. Matt is working like crazy and we are trying to fit in as much family time as possible when he is off. Kaleb is doing really well in school. He started basketball as well as piano lessons this week. The Lord answered my prayer regarding a piano and we are both excited to be starting lessons. I think he is more excited about basketball though. Typical Boy!! He has decided to be a cowboy when he grows up and really wants to learn to play the harmonica instead of the piano. I told him that he had to start with the piano first. Besides that, I don't know anyone who teaches harmonica lessons. Oh well!! Jakob is growing into a fine little boy. He is full of mischief, but quite tender and loving at the same time. He is a lot of fun to be around. He is your typical middle child that is for sure. Kyla is the princess of this castle. She ADORES her Daddun, as she calls him, and loves being the center of everyone's attention. Boy is she is for a rude awakening!! Ha!Ha! She has really started talking well and we are all having such a good time trying to get her to say new words. As for me, I just stay busy most all of the time. You would think that I would be able to accomplish a lot, but unfortunately that is not the case! Oh well. We have 3 praise reports for this month:

1. I am officially kidney stone free! Praise the Lord for his grace and mercy and healing in this matter!! Apparently the two big stones I passed back in September were the big ones from the right side that were blasted last November. Thankfully, there are no more in either side as of right now. What a relief!!
   
2. As I mentioned earlier, the Lord answered my prayer regarding my desire for a piano. It has been a burden of mine for quite some time to get one and take lessons. Not that I will ever be great at it, but I really want the children to have the opportunity to play and use their talent for the Lord.
   
3. Best of all, we had a wonderful Veteran's Day at church. Matt invited his NCOIC from the shop that he works in to the service. He came to the service and trusted Christ as his Savior that day! Praise God for his infinite grace and mercy!!

Other than that, we had an ultrasound (a just for fun one) last Friday. Our friend (Dr. Tony) thinks that we are having a girl. She was not very cooperative at all, but he said he definitely did not see any boy parts at this time. Time will tell I suppose. I go on December 15th for the official ultrasound, so I will keep you all posted!! Hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving!!
