SNOW

It is snowing just a bit here this morning. I can't believe it's only about 10 days until Thanksgiving. I must get better about updating the blog!!

The girls are doing well. Malia is a sophomore. They just finished marching band where she performed with the color guard. Concert band has started and they have a concert in December. Their big undertaking of the year is fund raising for a trip to Houston in April. She is anxiously awaiting the start of girls' swimming (not until March) but has been dong strength and conditioning as a class at school. She's definitely building some muscle. She already has her sights set on the state qualifying time for the 100 yd butterfly. Her other big event coming up is Hollyball, a formal dance, in December. She already has her dress. We still have to find jewelry and shoes and the hair appointment is made for that day.

Jessica is in 5th grade this year. She just finished outdoor soccer and basketball has started. She's not very tall but she's very tenacious when she's trying to protect that basketball. She is taking piano again this year as well.

Our new hospital is doing well!!! We have had over 60 deliveries since we opened July 7. The rest of the hospital continues to be busy as well. It is a very nice facility and the doctors who own it demand excellent staff. However we are rewarded with a very positive atmosphere to work in and the newest technology and equipment to work with.

A couple here in Great Bend won the Powerball lottery last week. Their take home was over $33 million dollars. They are a very deserving family. It is nice to see that things like that really do happen to "normal" people.

I have a new laptop so as soon as I figure out how to get pictures on here, I'll post some.

Hope everyone has a great week!!!

Love,
Jacquie
