Timothy's Origami

Timothy has been independently exploring and doing Origami lately.  Daily he has had new creations to show!

My personal favorite (hard to choose!) is the little fish I claimed for myself and have on my shelf in my room.

I persuaded him to make some new Christmas decorations for the home!  

All Timothy's work!  Aren't they beautiful?!

Making Cake

                               Last week when teaching Dennis about "blends", I mentioned that it would be nice to make a cake together to show him what "blend" means.  Well, he did not forget that!  On Sunday he brought it up to both me and Esther.  So tonight for our lesson, instead of meeting at church, we met at our house and made a cake, doing our lesson while it baked and cooled! He had never made a cake before, and it turned out great!


And since David asked, I am updating to add that Dennis took the cake home with him!

Hello, Lucy!

Goodbye, Clifford...Hello, Lucy.

Yes,  Joseph got rid of his gas-guzzling truck by a clean trade for his "new" mustang. He gave Timo and me a little ride after we met for coffee during Timothy's piano lesson.

A Surprise Trick-Or-Treater!

At 10:30 p.m., after the candy was put away, we heard the door bell ring.  Wow!  This is a late trick-or-treater, I thought!  When I got to the door, there was John!

It was so nice to have a few days to just be together and catch up in person.  Since we had plans to get some yard work done on Saturday, John pitched in and helped. That was great since the only other guys here were Dad and Daniel. Thank you, John!

He and Daniel got in a game of disc golf before the sun set on Saturday, and then after supper we went to surprise Esther at Starbucks. We missed Timo who had gone to the Shirs for the night.
