this week

was it really just last monday that was veterans day! chris stayed home with the kids and they had a good day.
the rest of the week was bit of a blur, chris worked every night doing one thing or another.

work continues to go well. i have been working at a really small desk in a shared office and it looks like the week after thanksgiving i will be moving to my real office with a real desk. I am so excited. it is not easy to manage 100+ job folders on a desk that can barely fit your phone computer and a cup of coffee. i am not exagerating the desk is crazy small. and those of you who have never worked with me, may not realize that i like to spread out a thin (and sometime thick) layer of stuff all over my desk is how i work best! anyway that will help.

the kids are doing great. i know we told you that nell was walking, but she does not crawl anymore. she walks everywhere and even ventures in to a bit of a run from time to time.
she is everywhere. she made her way to the dog food bowl...i don't think she swallowed any, but she samples Fredos kibbles. and even went back to try to get some more after she was found out!

zaven has been enjoying school and singing lots of new songs. they had a harvest feast on friday. i was able to go and it was fun. his class had made their own mashed potatoes and snapped the green beans.
friday night we stayed in. saturday the kids and i went to starbucks and the grocery store. that was not as successful as i had hoped. we ran out of time before i got everything, so i will go back today or maybe wednesday. which i am sure will be a mistake.

then we all ran around on some errands before i realized that zaven had a birthday party that he was supposed to go to and was supposed to wear "prince attire" so i whipped up a crown, a sword and a shield and we were off.
ariel from the little mermaid came to the party it was a big time.

then last night we had a dinner at the church, pot luck. i took the fennel, mushroom and parmesan salad, it went over well and i thought it was delicious. there was a lot of good food and was a good time.

we are off to church shortly.
here are a couple of pics from the week.
