Time can get away so fast before I realize I haven't posted in awhile. We had a great Thanksgiving Day. We started at my Mom & Dad's house for lunch then to Kevin's parents for supper. It was nice to be with all our family and eat eat eat!! Yesterday was the first day we didn't eat leftovers!! I have sooo much to be thankful for- a hard working, loving, husband, and 3 sweet amazing children! Among that wonderful family and friends, that I couldn't begin to describe!
Other things going on my Dad had his tongue surgery Monday and it went really well. They felt this time they got all the cancer while doing the biopsy, so Monday they took off what they thought to be calcification's. He's at home recovering. Me and the kids visited him yesterday and brought mashed potatoes which he was excited about! On other news my friend Andrea is down to 4 radiation treatments to go!! I take her today which will be my last time taking her since she's done before my next day off. I super excited that she's almost done. Andrea has a Carepage if you want to read updates on her, see photos, or leave her a message, the link is: http://www.carepages.com/carepages/AndreaB I'm sure she would love to hear from you whether she knows you or not!
Last night I went to a Tastefully Simple party. It was a lot of fun. We got to sample a lot of the products which were very yummy!! They sell mixes to make dips, soups, desserts, spices etc. Usually you just add 1 or 2 ingredients and its done. That's my kind of cooking!! I ordered so much I got a free can of English Toffee Mocha mix which I;m enjoying right now, it's so delicious. It's just one scoop mix and hot water and it tastes so good. When I got home last night the house was spotless. I mean spotless! Dishwasher unloaded and reloaded, basement clean, kids room clean including under beds and closets. Didn't I tell you my husband was wonderful! It's nice to be able to get out with some girlfriends and come home and it not be a tornado. Kevin has a way to rally the kids up to clean for me and make it fun for them. So it was nice to get up this morning and not trip on something!!
Another great thing that happened this week was we got water pressure back!! I know that sounds so silly but you'd be amazed on how aggravating it is to not have pressure. We've not had pressure in our shower or kitchen for about 2 months and instead of calling someone we thought it would eventually get better. The city told us plenty of water was coming in so it wasn't that, so I was afraid to hear we had a leak. Well Saturday when the water finally was trickling out of the shower it was definite time to call someone. So Monday we found out the kitchen faucet and bathroom faucet/shower need replaced due to eroded valves. That was it, no leak! We waited 2 months to hear that! So instead of paying $60 an hour for a 3 hour job my hubby went out and picked out both units and installed them himself that night.(Told you he was great!!) I was so nervous, but he did it!! And now after 2 months I can wash the soap out of my hair!!! It took less than 3 minutes to fill the tub for the kids bath when it did take 20min! I can actually rinse dishes in the sink instead of having to scrub them! It's amazing what we take for granted, I feel so blessed in every direction even if it is just water pressure!! Hope this season is finding all of you blessed also, I know my neighbor is-Congratulations Brenda- Baby #3 on the way!!

What a wonderful husband!! I had an evening out last night too and when I came home he had gotten the kids to clean up their playroom and bedroom and he had done the dishes! It was a big help...made it easier on me!
We are definitely feeling blessed with this 3rd on the way - I may have to call you and get encouragement when I feel like I'm about to lose it!! thanks!
