I can't believe Thanksgiving is NEXT WEEK!!! Where has the month gone? We had Great Commission Congress week on campus the first week of November. I was excited to share at a joint hall Koinonia on my old hall, Kresge 3rd-Mid! Last weekend we were excited to host my family for Reni and Ellie's dedications at church (photos to come at a future post). The days in between have been a blur of work, appointments, and daily life. As mom and dad have put the farm to sleep they're now preparing to return to Albania and I've been frantically sorting through pictures to send back to Reni's orphanage with them (thank goodness for Wal Mart's 1-hour photo processing via the internet that lets a procrastinator like me send photos into cyberspace that can be printed in Illinois for my parents to pick up this afternoon)!
My digging found these photos from Ellie's school field trip that we joined in Georgetown, Kentucky...
Ellie was happy to ride on the hayrack. Reni was not so much. He cried to ride on the tractor pulling the hayrack, thanks to his recent visit to Gjyshe's machine shed and ride on his John Deere.
A photo to prove I was there! It was COLD and WINDY!
Ellie and her gal pals, Chloe and Essie.
The entire county's Kindergarten visted the same day so we also ran into my freshman college roommate (Amy) & suitemate (Sarah)! Who knew 17 years ago that we'd all have children in the same class in Jessamine County?

Little hams.
Yes, our children brought home an extra souvinir besides their pumpkins. Given the price of corn, we probably should have offered to pay for this ear.
Here is Ellie with her special ed teacher -- she has a whole teaching team and loves them all!
If birds could talk...
Reni's favorite thing to say these days is "uh-oh!" He also says, "Hi!" and "dye-dye" (bye-bye), "Meh" (more), and "ha", which is Albanian for "eat".

What a fun day you and the children had!! We know you've been busy. I have checked the blog frequently. (That's what happens when you're retired and it's too cold out side to garden.) We love each of you so much!!
Uncle Jack comes home tonight.He's been traveling on a tour bus with Christian men. They've been to Fort Knox,KY, Mobile,AL, Pensicola,FL,Washington,DC, and Dayton,OH--all in 6 days!!! They visited Military museums. He calls each day. The men sleep on the bus and the bulk of the traveling is done while the men sleep. He says that he is so glad that he went.
Great picture of Reni with his nose all crinkled up :) I have a feeling he is going to give Pip a run for her money!
