I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and a restful long weekend.

Sorry that I did not update my blog/newsletter sooner but we unfortunately have been in and out of the hospital since Wednesday night with my father-in-law.  He developed a bad staph infection in his leg and has many other health issues which have complicated things a bit.  

We are his caregivers so it has been important for us to be there as much as possible.  Fortunately, it happened over our time off of work so I did not have to miss any classroom time.  I always recognize things like this as part of God's perfect plan.  Both my husband and I were able to be there without having to worry about work.  That was a HUGE BLESSING!!

With that said, I did not update my classroom newsletter.  I will just tell you that with the shortened week and swimming, most of what we did was to focus on what we are thankful for.  We also did spend some significant time talking about the first Thanksgiving and the life of Squanto who was a Christian Native American. 

I am so thankful for EVERYTHING: ...the good things...the frustrating things...the sad things...EVERYTHING---- as I know that each thing has been allowed for me to experience to help create the person that God wants me to be.

I am looking forward to seeing my little cherubs in the morning!!
