Harrison's Blessing Day

Amongst all the business.... we woke up to a beautiful white blanket of SNOW!!!

 While Loren was hunting, I filled in a full time Job as a Kindergarten teacher until Christmas.

I love teaching, but I was so grateful for a SNOW DAY!!!

 All the neighbors came to our house to play.... 

The Van Allens, Stewarts, Johnsons, and the Laras!

So much FUN!!!

.....More Hunting! This time for elk!

We love Thanksgiving with Family!

Soccer Season came to a close.....

What a wonderful season.  It went better than I could have ever imagined!  Both girls loved it and Charlotte was so well accepted!  The best day was the day I had Harrison.  I was in the hospital, missing their game.  Grandma Pember took them to their game.  While I was in labor, all of a sudden I got a call, saying that Charlotte made a goal!  I was so surprised and stunned!  (She loved it out on the field, but getting around quickly was not easy for her.)  How did my sweet girl get a goal with all those rough kids out there?  The kids were so amazing.  At about half time, after the other team had made a goal, she got to start the kick off at the half field mark.  The two teams ran along side her as she kicked the ball all the way down the field to the goal!  I heard it took only 5 kicks for her to get the ball in the goal!!! Wow, I was so proud of her!  Her confidence soared!  She came running into the hospital with the most excited smile and Kalicia yelling behind her, "My sister made a goal!"  We couldn't have been prouder.  To top it off.... at the end of the game the two teams lined up and ran through giving each other five to congratulate each other on the game..... I wasn't there to help Charlotte get to the line up quickly, so she missed out.  The two teams swarmed around her and congratulated her and gave her five.  I don't think those kids, coaches, or refs will ever have any idea what they did for my daughter that day and for a worried mother who wasn't there to make sure her daughter felt successful.
