Just a quick note since I haven't posted anything in awhile! Not much is happening around here. We are going to a friend's house, along with 4 other families, for Thanksgiving. Then we are headed to the ball field for a huge game of kickball! I know you are suppose to play football but we have to include all the kids.

No races for Joe this week. He is starting to get busy with Marine things. Hunter is practicing swim 4 days a week, not necessarily liking that but is happy to have qualified for the Tokyo swim meet. Thank you to all the people who have pledged for his swim-a-thon. One more swim meet left then training starts for the Tokyo kids only.

Brody (and Hunter) will be starting flag football on Nov. 30th. We have already told the boys that there is no crying in football. I don't know if Brody really understands football so we told him it was like a big game of tag! If you have the ball, everyone is running after you so don't let them catch you!

Nothing is set in stone yet (and with the Marine Corps, that takes some time) but the beginning of the new year is the first date and then spring starts the year count down. For those of you who have no idea what I am talking about call or ask around and you will find out! Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving. We are celebrating Hunter's birthday on the 28th (his actual birthday) with a football party! I hope it doesn't rain because Hunter wants to have a pretend war in the house! 12 boys all shooting Nerf guns....pray for sun!! Actually, it would be 13 boys because I know that Joe will be a part of it!!
