a new post from the slacker! Between school and nausea, I haven't had much time to keep up my blog. When I do have time, I'm either tired, or sick. I'm doing better, as far as the nausea goes, but it still creeps up on me every now and then. A few weeks ago I was able to be a chaperone on Ry's first field trip. We had a few firsts that day. It was also the first day she was able to ride on a school bus. Here she is with Macie, her gal pal from school. Everyone calls them twins, and it's kind of crazy how much they resemble eachother. The next picture is of her entire class at the end of the field trip, and the last picture was of the group I took around the zoo: Ry, Ranya, Macie and Isabella. It was more work that I thought it was going to be, but I'm glad that I was able to go. Ry fell asleep on the bus on the way home from the zoo with about half of her classmates. I'm so glad that I'm able to go on trips like this with Ry and volunteer in her classroom. I think that I know about all of the kids in her class' names. When I come in to volunteer, half of her class will come up and give me a hug. It's so nice to be able to know who all of her friends are when she talks about them at home.

These last three pictures are from Dane's Dad's extended family reunion. We had great fun getting together with, even meeting for the first time, some of Dane's extended family. It was held in town and they had a rodeo and hay rides the first day. They also had a "money goat" for the kids to chase around. It was pretty funny to watch. They also had lots of activities and meals throughout Thanksgiving weekend. The girls love to ride papa's ponies and hang out with Dane's side of the family. We were sad that Cam and Amber and their kids were missing in action, at Disneyland. They missed out : )
