I’m playing catch up. We’ve been busy, but again everyone is busy so I guess that isn’t a surprise. In the beginning of November we had elections and everyone is quite happy that is behind us. I was a poll challenger for the Democratic party and found it to be very interesting. That same day (Tuesday), Dave had the day home with the kids and after the polls, I headed to Fort Wayne with my dad. We met up with my aunt and uncle for dinner and a Joe Bonamasa concert. Front row seats, it was awesome and very loud.
We also had parent-teacher conferences and both kids received good reports. Both are doing well in school academically and seem to be enjoying learning new things. In fourth grade it seems Ajax is going on a ton of field trips – Impression 5, the capital and historic museum, and the Wharton Center (though in all fairness all kids go see a performance at the Wharton).
This past weekend, Noomi and I went to a pottery show and bought a few little pieces. Afterwards, the whole family took Husker for a hike in the woods. We did about 3 miles. At one point Ajax, Noomi, and I were standing next to the river and all of a sudden Noomi slipped and fell into the river. Needless to say we hustled the rest of the way back to the car. We went for dinner in Old Town and hit up Meat (a bbq place). We also looked in some neat shops, including Preuss Pets. It was a nice weekend.
