Happy Thanksgiving

Ben's older brother, Steven, and his family joined us for Thanksgiving. We had a wonderful time together and enjoyed great meals. But rather than focus on the traditional meal of turkey, this year we will share a picture of us while a breakfast of waffles is being made. Enjoy!

Polyjuice Potion

In an update to a previous entry, the kids continue to love "reading" the Harry Potter books by listening to Jim Dale's audio recordings. We recently finished the second book and therefore the kids got to watch the second movie.

Elizabeth read about a recipe for polyjuice potion, which was just lime sherbet and Sprite. However, our local grocery store did not have lime sherbet, so we used rainbow sherbet instead. The kids did not seem to notice or care - they just thought it was delicious.

Service Project

Our church has a service project to beautify the landscape around the building. Analeigh and David insisted on coming with their dad, which he agreed to allow, provided that they work the whole time (without whining about being tired or bored). Impressively, they both did an excellent job.
