Holiday Decorating

Hey everyone....sorry it's been a little while. Been busy with work. Today (Sun.) we got the house decorated and the tree up so it's beginning to look like Christmas here. I received the package in the mail for Jacob on Thursday mom. Those are so cool...he will love them! This past week was pretty cold but it hasn't been to bad lately. Yesterday and today were in the upper 30's and this week is suppose to be in the upper 30's so it's pretty nice. Jacob goes in on Tueday to get his arm checked and a full cast put on. He's doing great with it.....getting used to it. I had a meeting with all his teachers and psychiatrist on Thursday and they were all saying how wonderful he is doing! His school psychiatrist says he thinks Jacob is going to be a Engineer! Me and Diana have said that before too. They said he is close to the point where they can start to mainstream him back to regular classes. Firts the non-academic classes like gym, computers, recess...but it's a start! He's doing fantastic. They told me they were going on a field trip this Thursday and asked if I wanted to go and chaperone. I think I might. They are going to see "The Nutcracker" and then to a chocolate candy factory for a tour. He's pretty excited about the candy factory tour but not the play. He said "I don't want to go see some stupid ballet." He'll come around. They also told me his class is starting a program, sometime in Dec. and running through March, that the kids can take skiing lessons. They will be bused up to Snowbird Resort and be given lessons on how to ski for only $4.00! He's pretty excited. We just have to wait for January and the O.K. from his doctor so he can go. I hear they have 18 inches of fresh soft powder in the mountains. A guy I work with went snowboarding last Sat. and said it was great! If my foot gets any better I want to get up there and go skiing with Brian when he comes out. Anyways...the girls are doing great. Cassie is still doing very good in school and anxious for Christmas to come. Cori is also doing very well and is still attatched at the hip to the neighbor girl Krista. It's good for her to have a friend so close. Diana has her company Christmas party this Saturday night at the Hilton Hotel downtown Salt Lake City so that should be fun. We've seen the hotel before as we were driving by and it is beautiful! Anyways...trying to keep everyone up to date on everything. As always...Love and miss everyone.
