Well, last November wasn't exactly a great month and this November is not proving to be much better. Jody was told by the doc that he has thyroid cancer and has to have his thyroid completely removed. They'll take samples from the nodes and make sure it hasn't spread but it almost never does in thyroid cancer, so the odds are really good. I just don't like worrying about odds at all. He feels confident and is very calm about going under the knife. So, just pray for my lover boy and believe with us that God can use this experience as a testimony to the world of God's power and love for his children.
The election was rather disappointing. People put their vote where their financial hope is, which I find very disappointing. The thing I find the most amazing and confusing is that people think Obama will fix the economy. I mean, we have an economy crisis so we elect a spender that doesn't believe in the philosophy of making small businesses prosper so they can employ more people? It's so odd. America has chosen so I'm going to drop it.
Jody secured a great project for his company and was recognized this week in the company meeting as the person that made it happen. I was so happy for him. It's actually a really interesting project. They're working on a huge park in Erie.
Eden is doing great in school. She's made some wonderful friends. She's reading her little HOP books like a little bee. I'm so proud of her. She comes home and educates Kaitlyn on everything she learns in history and sings all these new little songs she's learning. Tomorrow is parent teacher conference, so I'll be curious to see what the teacher feels we need to work on at home etc...
Kaitlyn is thriving and speaks so maturely. This morning I woke up at 7:30 to a fully dressed Kaitlyn standing by my bed giving me a report. It went something like this "I got up, I got dressed, I let the dogs outside so you wouldn't have to and I went potty in my potty. I'm going to go set the table and get all of the cereal out so you won't have to."
Nick is still a bossy little tyrant. I don't know about that guy sometimes. He has tantrums about every 30 minutes and smiles and flirts in between. He's very mechanical and spends alot of time pushing cars around and making car noises and stacking blocks and playing with balls. He hates it when Kaitlyn grabs him around his middle and tries to lift him off of the floor. She does it at least twice a day. Even Eden finds herself yelling at Kaitlyn about it but Kait just can't resist. I remember doing something similar to my favorite cat as a child. I would dig my hands into his neck and say "gitchie gitchie gitchie" while I'd grit my teeth. He hated it and I couldn't understand why. Poor guy must've had a pretty sore neck. Anyway, Nick is the victim of Kaitlyn's obsession.
Cotton is a very cute little bunny. We just don't have a good spot for him to live. He's currently downstairs with us at night and that's not going too well. He gets hyper in the middle of the night and runs laps around the little cage. I think he might be bouncing off of the walls. Jody is quite fed up and I just don't know where to put him. I'm standing in the dining room right now contemplating the corner by the china cabinet but I feel that rabbit poop should not be in a close proximity to our dining experience...
Ta ta for now. Hope all of our wonderful friends and supporters are doing great.
