check out our weather for the week... Wait, I'm sorry I am having a hard time clicking on anything, why you might ask?

Because my fingers are FROZEN.
I knew this was really going to happen someday...
Well, It sure has-
I am NOT very proficient at driving in the Snow/Ice-

I am freaking out!
That's all I have to say about this.

I'll check in later today... If I make it home alive that is.

Gobble Gobble Gobble!!

Happy Thanksgiving! What a wonderful Holiday! So much fun, food, family and .... Football.. (not so excited about that one). We are thankful for so many wonderful blessings, and the wonderful people that are in our lives. We are thankful for a beautiful day, and a beautiful life! I am thankful for Reilly, and for the life journey that we have begun!
I am thankful for a Loving and Gracious God who has truly blessed us with all of these amazing gifts.
We had rosy cheeks and lots of laughs. And, what would Thanksgiving be without watching Trains, Plains, and Automobiles?
Lucy and Sammy Seem Thankful for Each other.

Big News all Around!

This past weekend I went down to Grand Rapids for a few fun reasons. One, Rosie Thomas was performing on Friday night. For those of you who are not familiar with Rosie... You should acquaint yourself immediately. She is fabulous! Secondly, My dear dear friend Heather got engaged this past week, so we went wedding dress shopping on Saturday! Super FUN! It is nice to feel like you can live through a wedding again :) It was good to see everyone, but sad that Reilly couldn't come along.
Anyways, I am happy and delighted to inform that Reilly just got notified/asked for Another medical school interview at Michigan State!!!!!! I am so proud of my husband! His dream may not be just a dream for to much longer.
Well, Events of the day...
1. Lucy fell down an entire flight of stairs- well, rolled like a hot dog.. (wait, she is a hot dog)
B. Sammy (and yes Matthew and will, we still love Sammy too!) got stuck in my pants drawer... probably because he is so fat!
3. Carpenter is having Pajama Day with slippers that feel like he is walking on "Piiiiwwwwooolllls"
4. A big 18 wheeler dropped off new windows for the entire house....
5. I ate a Mango
F. I wanted to go for a walk, so Mama Hobbs made me wear a BRIGHT fluorescent orange vest to make sure the hunters wouldn't mistake me for a deer. I'm still alive so I guess it worked.
7. I keep falling asleep trying to do homework.

Lucy Darling

We have loved having Lucy in our life! She is such a joy, and such a bundle of energy!!! She has been so good... and just today we heard some of the first few little "yelps" of barks... when Sammy attempted to chase her...!!!
It has been such a long time since I have blogged... I am sorry for that! It has just been very busy the past few weeks and life just doesn't seem to slow down.
Everyone is well. Reilly left and returned from NJ within 2 days for his medical school interview. He has started working full time at Northern Lakes Community Mental Health as a case manager. He seems to love it! He is also working part time as "Resource Director" at an addiction treatment Center. I guess he is getting as much experience as he can ... who knows what being married to me will be like in 10 years :)
We attended another wedding Saturday night. Wow!!! Talk about an eclectic experience. Reilly's extended family is DEFINITELY something UNIQUE...
Carpenter and I danced the night away.....
Sunday is peaceful. Thank the Lord for a Day of rest!!!
I hope everyone is well and healthy and enjoying the cool weather.
The "S" word is in the forecast for next week... BETTER start preparing myself!!!!
Much Love to all... R & R
