Giving Thanks

November has kept up to Rogers' standards with a busy pace.  Since we last posted:

• We've had parent-teacher conferences; both boys had glowing reports.  3rd Grade also starts letter grades--and Mitchell earned all straight-As! 
• I ventured into Chicago again with Tammy for a Bears game.  PERFECTION with weather and game all around.  
• There is a new Sheriff in town, and his name is Owen Rogers.  
• Ruthie visited the Northern Regions.  The kids ate up every minute she was here.  We had a great weekend.
• More doctor appointments for Denny.  Thankfully they seem to have found an answer to his skin dilemma.  
• Mitchell and I buried the wire from the chicken coop back to the house. We made a good team! 
• Lucy helped me make a very delicious pumpkin pie.
• Thanksgiving at the Rogers' house was quiet and relaxing.  We are gearing up for the extended Rogers clan to dine with us next weekend.  
• Quality board game time with the kiddos... most enhanced by the creative rules of one Lucy Rogers.
• The kids and I went to see The Muppet Movie today.  
• As of today, Ken has finished cutting, hauling, and stacking wood for use this winter.  The snow fence is now up, and the Chicken Condo has been insulated for the winter as well.
