November 2010

Well, we are another month closer to the end of 2010. So hard to believe! This was another great month full of blessings. I am sure I am going to miss some of them but here we go anyway! :-)

As I recently posted, Jason's birthday was November 30th. (You can read this post here.) This is the last of the Gressman family birthdays until Kearyn girl's birthday in May. (I don't even want to think about hers yet!)

Kearyn in now 6 months old. Cannot believe that at all! Time is just flying by with her. Everyday I feel like I still have to remind myself that I have a fourth baby now AND it is a girl! Everyday we get up and get to pick out cute outfits and hairbows (something totally foreign and unknown to me before) and I am just loving it. I think I have done a pretty good job about making her look "girly" and not "tom-boyish" as I think some thought I would. But it has been a blast and I have loved every minute of it.

November represented a month of rest as Cale was between volleyball and basketball season. That was kind of nice on mom and dad's taxi service but we have fired up the Suburban once again this week to get him to practices. He is finding that he in now in the "big leagues" as far as basketball is concerned and there is a LOT more running. Mom tried to warn him...."Cale, you will have to run and it is going to hurt but you can do it." Yeah, that was my big pep talk. May need to work on that a bit in the future. :-)

Ky is doing great especially now that he is 5 as of October 30th. We are pretty much full force into kindergarten (the great thing about homeschooling, you don't have to go by those pesky birthday cut-off dates.) He is really really doing well especially for not really loving the whole "academic" side of things. But he is flying through his books so that is neat to see.

Creidey Bear Jaxton, as he has been calling himself lately, is learning right along with his big brother. It is kind of a two for one deal with the whole schooling thing. I teach Ky once and Creide is right there to learn too. He constantly wants his own school work to do so that has been fun as well.

We started painting the inside of our house as well. Yes, most people do that kind of thing in the spring or summer but we Gressman's like to live on the wild side. I will be posting pictures but I will give you a clue as to one of my living room colors. Olive Grove.....love it!!!! :-)

Jason delivered a great message on "Isolation" the weekend service after Thanksgiving. Yes, I am a little partial I know but I thought he did a great job. I will hopefully be posting the link here soon so you can listen for yourselves if you missed it. :-)

I did decorate another wedding this month as well (same weekend as Jason preached so it was a busy weekend!) It was a great wedding. Congrats Steph & Ryan! (I will try to post pictures of that soon as well.)

Anyway, I know I am forgetting some stuff. I will add if I think of something. Thanks for reading and I hope you are all enjoying my random ramblings! :-)
