Baby days ahead

     The time is quickly approaching when we will be welcoming the newest addition to our family. I am scheduled for a C-section on Tuesday and the whole family is getting very excited and anxious to meet her. Lee graduated in June and has been working a ton lately.
     Kurgan is in 8th grade and will be starting high school next fall! I can barely believe how fast he's grown up. He plays drums for his church class every other Sunday and is playing drums in a rock band for his school's choir concert coming up in February.
     Kira is in 4th grade and is the class President this year! We are very proud. She is showing a lot more interest in music lately and is thinking of taking some kind of music lesson though it changes between guitar, voice, piano and sometimes even acting lessons.
     Kash is a super happy boy (most of the time). He's into everything these days but we really like that he's starting to talk a lot more so we understand what he wants (most of the time). It's wonderful being able to spend some extra time with him while I'm on maternity leave. I feel like I miss out on a lot of what the kids are up to because of work but I'm certain that most working mothers feel that way.
     Thanksgiving was nice because we had some family in town for it. The Tierney's came from Texas to join us for a week. I haven't seen them in quite a long time and it was really nice to catch up. Everyone grows so much between visits! I hosted the Thanksgiving dinner at my house and it was almost a disaster. Thanks goodness for Ken and his fried turkey or we would have had to wait a few extra hours to eat my turkey that wasn't cooking like it was supposed to!
