Catching Up

I can't believe that I have not posted since September 25th! Work tends to get a wee bit busy this time of year for me! Stefan has finished playing travel soccer since I blogged last.......we had trunk or treat at church ....we even had a visit from the Fire Department. Onto November we started the month off with our craft show the first weekend and almost doubled our profits from last year yay! Stefan then was named Student of the Month of November by our town Rotary Club....for an essay he wrote about what he wanted to do when he grew up and how he planned to get there. Of course this essay was written at the end of the last school year, when he wanted to be a Marine Biologist.....now he just want to be a plain Marine. His essay was selected for the research and insight more than for the career! Needless to say we were so honored to go with him to breakfast, listen to him read his essay and answer questions from adults! We had a 25th Anniversary of Ordination Mass the Sunday before Thanksgiving, as a priest friend of mine invited me to the celebration.....then a formal gala the following Sunday, congratulations to Reverend Michale J. Kreder! Before I knew it Thanksgiving was here. I had Thanksgiving at our home.....we had a small group for my family (9) of us, but it was great. Allie spent Thanksgiving in South Carolina with Ryan....but they will be in New Jersey for Christmas.....so excited to see them it has been over four months....we are having Bill's family for Christmas Eve....everyone brings parts of the meal and the host family supplies the house, seats and drinks! It happens fast and furious everyone arrives and leaves at once.....very hectic but a nice evening......I'll be sure to keep you posted. Stefan turned 14 on December 1st....where does time go? This weekend at church we have Santa's Breakfast and then before you know it ........it will be Chrsitmas. I'll try to keep up here.......
