Great week so far. Nothing outstanding or stupendous ... just the normality of life that we so often take for granted.
Friends and family are throwing Katy's first bridal shower this weekend so we are all preparing for the festivities. I'm turning into the "mystery shopper" for some of our out of town guests, so I get to have fun of doing that! (I hate shopping, but somehow buying stuff for my daughter's apartment makes it much, much better!) Katy will have two more showers the weekend after Thanksgiving, so a busy time is upon us.
Last night was Joy's first JV basketball game of the season. She has come so far from the timid little girl several years ago that thought playing basketball might be fun! I am still amazed at the discipline she shows in not only practicing, but in running, eating correctly and doing the things she knows will help her become a better player. I often joke with she and Camryn that I can see them in 20 years being homeschool moms coaching their children's basketball teams. (Truly, its no joke. I can really see them doing that... they both have a love of the game and a love of children. Will be fun to watch!) Back to our present reality ... the JVG team played so well! It was amazing to see them come together as a team against a formidable foe and while they didn't win on the scoreboard, they won in experience. They took away a wealth of experiences (both good and bad) and will be the better for it next time. And big kudos to Coach Kyle for playing even the younger girls who make up our developmental team!
Cold weather is upon us here in the great state of NC! Snow flurries yesterday and miserably cold temps this morning (and the rest of the week they say). Miserably cold is defined as anything under 40 (at least to me). This morning it was 25 so that qualifies in my book! I think we might be in for one of those winters! Oh well, lots of coats, warm clothing and oil in the tank while we hunker down til spring.
Must close for now. Doggies need to be walked and laundry started for the day. Blessings to all on this fine November day!

SO good to "hear" from you through your blog!! EK & EO are counting down the days. They are so excited and have told everyone about their "two new sisters" being "due" in 32 days! Interesting way they put it, but so wonderfully true!
Let us know if Joy has any games down this way (East Wake?). I've gotta go now & finish school with E&E and then run some errands. Gonna try to do some wedding shower shopping, too :) !
