What a week!

Hello Everyone!
What a week! The boys started basketball at the YMCA last Saturday and they totally love it. It is so much fun watching all the kids trying to master the skills. They take dozens of shots and miss, and then they finally sink one and everyone cheers like they won a championship : ) They really promote good sportsmanship and it shows!
I was at school each day this week helping in the kids classrooms. They have wonderful teachers who like parents in the classroom. I love seeing the boys, getting to know all the kids and see what they're learning. Isaac got his 1st report and he got all A's! We'll get Adam's tomorrow at parent/teacher conferences -- no school! Yeah! We're going to the library -- Isaac want to do some research on some countries he's interested in (that's my boy!) and then I think we might see a movie.
Ryan is just about done with the outside work on the house. We had about 5 inches of snow last Friday which slowed him down : ( but it finally melted and he was able to work most of the week. It'll be so fantastic when it's all done! There's some work to do inside, putting trim on the new windows, but at least Ryan will be warm and can see the boys more.
Tonight I finally finished a new quilt for Isaac that I've been working on since last summer. He has an ocean theme in his room and it's impossible to find "big boy" ocean bedding so we picked out the fabrics together and I made up a pattern and feels so great to be done! It turned out amazing -- probably my favorite quilt yet.
My brother Jon and his wife and their son Luke (who is 4) are flying up from Nashville for Thanksgiving. It'll be fun for the 3 little boys to get to play together.
Wishing everyone a blessed Thanksgiving!!!
Love, Joy
