Busy, busy, busy

     Life has been just a bit hectic lately. School is keeping us rather busy with homework assignments every night. And with it being American Thanksgiving tomorrow we have a school potluck and then on Saturday we are having several Canadian friends over for an American Thanksgiving feast at our house. I have been busy getting everything prepped and ready for that!
     And in the midst of all of this, Jeff has been doing a lot of speaking/teaching lately which has meant a lot of study time for him. This has left me running a busy little household with my three little guys. I am also organizing a thank you event for all of the women who volunteer to watch our children everyday in childcare here. Several student moms came to my house last night for a planning meeting and then we just hung out and played games.
     On top of all of this, Rylan is still getting over a bout of strep throat. We took him in last Friday and he got put on an antibiotic. I think today is the first day he has started to seem like his normal self again. Whew! If you aren't tired from reading all of that, I am tired from writing it!! But honestly life is going really great for us right now. We are really enjoying our Sunday group and the friends we have made through that. We have also made some new friends on campus who are first year students. Life may be extremely busy and sometimes even overwhelming, but at the end of each day I am so thankful for all that I have!
     Here are some pictures of the boys from when we still had snow. It is long gone now and I am not complaining because I know it will be back soon enough and then it will stay for way too long!!

Logan's first snow experience...not a big fan!
Jeff and Rylan built this snowman and Jeff kept changing the snowman to get different expressions. Then he would tell Rylan to mimic that expression. Here are a few of those photos:
Happy snowman!
Angry snowman!
