It is November already! It's cooler even here in Florida, at last. I feel the holidays upon us.
We have been busy with Conrad's kidney stone business, going to Atlanta for a wedding, Brandon's birthday, Conrad's retirement party and Brent's violin recital.
We are having a piano recital this afternoon. It was not easy to find a time that most people could make it! I had to cancel our spring recital, because the majority couldn't come. It's a good thing we reserved this day well in advance, because other things have crowded into this day! I am looking forward to it. The kids' nervousness rubs off on me, and I hate getting up front and speaking, but it's worth it to all get together and play a little music for each other.
After the recital is over, we are planning my dad and Brent's birthdays. The party will be at my parent's house as usual, so my mom is anxious to get the details settled.
Conrad is having his kidney stent removed Monday, and hopefully he will bounce back to his normal self. He's been miserable, so we haven't gone out much lately. Thankfully, he's retired now, and is able to recover at home.
Thanksgiving will be upon us soon. I love spending time with all my family! December is a crazy month for everyone. All of Jacob's programs have something special for Christmas. His band is going to play in Washington, D.C. We might go. I have a birthday (even though I don't want to get any older) and am looking forward to the Cracker Christmas festival in Ft. Christmas.
As far as homeschooling, it's been very different since Conrad retired and I've been driving him to the hospital and doctor's offices. We haven't found a routine yet, but I know we will.
