BIG Secret!

Okay, this is the hottest big secret on the block. Something exciting happened for Ryan but I can't share more because I am not sure who reads this. So if you're dying to know before next Monday then call Ryan! :)

In other news: Today we spent time with Madeline at school as she worked on her family tree activity. It was fun but not nearly as extensive as we had imagined. The teacher did not give very good instructions so most of the parents/grandparents showed up with a lot more pictures than they needed. I think we'll do a big tree for home in the playroom. It will be a nice art project for the girls and pretty for the wall. Speaking of the playroom, I used my day off yesterday to rearrange the room and take out things that didn't need to be there. I am donating three or so bags, threw away a very large bag of junk and put many more bags in storage. Things are organized a little better now based on the way the girls play with things. Ryan committed to making a kitchen table for the kitchen area. Madeline did say "it would be faster to buy one" since she knows Ryan's projects take awhile.

We will be having a Thanksgiving meal with Ryan's family the Sunday before turkey day. We will spend the long holiday weekend doing the Olde German Christmas events, buying and decorating a tree, putting up holiday decorations, etc. For Christmas we will be travelling to the Jacksons and spending a week with them. We're very excited about that trip, which we will be driving.
