• Good morning

  Its raining.

  Its November.

  Its what November typically does best.

  We got a LOT of rain in the last three days.  The rivers are very swollen, but so far their staying essentially where they belong and haven't creeped up onto my doorstep.

  Jeremiah LOVES floods.  He loves looking at ditches, and swollen rivers, and discussing floods.  He keeps talking and talking and talking about them.  Over and over.  I asked him if they were scarey, but he informs me they are cool.

  The kids are continuing to learn baton and do well.  The coach has suggested they go to regionals to compete this year...which is in California in June.  It just may be our vacation isn't in Idaho this coming year.  That would *not* hurt my feelings.  LOL  I'm not sure where in California, that is still to be determined.  Rob grew up in Cali, and has several very favorite camping spots he has been wanting to take the kids to since before we got married, so I'm thinking it just *might* happen.  The deal with the kids is they have to practice and earn it.  I don't care about them being the best, I do care about them being dedicated.  So far that is mostly happening, so we shall see.

  We are really liking the coach now that we're going to Olympia.  I think she was just tired by the time she saw us.  Which rather makes sense as she drives up here, and then coaches for over 8 hours straight without a break.  On Thursdays she's just so relaxed.  The kids get four hours with her, and its well worth it.

  We are leaving the 18th of December for Christmas at the 'ils.  So I have quite a bit less time to get Christmas ready.  So last night I spent quite a bit of time making this to be put into a poster as a thanks for the kids coach.

  

  I was quite happy with the end result.  If anybody has any suggestions as to how to improve it please tell me, its very easy to edit at this point.
