We were able to see Jesse at Speech and Debate and then the other children doing their deuo for Speech. What a wonderful program to be able to speek in front of a group.

We celebrated Terri's birthday by going to Mt. Baker so Rachael could ski and the boys could snowboard. The adults sat in the lodge drinking hot chocolate and watching the lessons the children were having.

We spent two nights with Christopher cooking and doing some shopping. There were three students at the house at the time.

To start our trip north for Christmas we had good weather until we got to Elkton. So we had two quiet days with Mike and Melissa to catch up.

Ben got an award "Most Improved Player" for water polo. He really enjoys High School and the sports like basket ball. I cut Kaitlyn's hair for her, and I was able to shop for Christmas with Amy and Kaitlyn.

Thanksgiving was a blessing shared with Jeff, Amy, Kaitlyn, Ben and Jonny. I made a big turkey and we all had fun working together. Jonny made rolls and Kaitlyn made a pie. Hollister had a town parade.

We celebrated Julie Potter's birthday with dinner and playing Mexican Train. Fun time for everyone.

Pork rib dinner to celebrate Julie Potter's birthday and played Mexican Train.

Humbolt Light Opera Mary Poppins with Potters, Balls and Thomas. Fun time and the play was amazing. Adam, Jim Hogue's 10 year old son played Michael Banks.

Tom helped the neighbor take down a tree. He put in some new water lines and fausets in the front and back yard. Then came the work on the roof after 25 years it was time to replace it. It was a huge job but it is done and we are very happy with it.
