look out world....

hmm. quite behind on sharing...sorry 'bout that. i will try to catch you up here. ...over the next few days perhaps?!
subjects to touch on...charlie started first grade, an emotional roller coaster for us all. and speaking of emotions, aunt barbara passed, and pe-paw. (grandpa edwards) is a new resident in an Alzheimer's unit at the VA in Oklahoma. i am working at one of our own local memory care/Alzheimer's units (a pretty darn fancy one at that), as well as at OHSU again. isaiah still refuses to go to preschool without a fight. aunt beth visited, and we got to be touristy! i attempted once to put the photos on here from that trip, but there are too many good ones! thought i'd do a link to the album instead. brian is happy at work. as far as we know. he needs to change his tires out to his snow tires here soon, we had an amazing fall, but it is getting cold now. spokane had white land last weekend! we are not moving, yet. we also don't yet have a dog or truck.. :)  i am in school at clark, online only, two classes only, but a ginormous time consumer. great class(es), but i am kinda slow!! so it takes a LONG time to work on my stuff. charlie is restricted to three hours a week on the tablet, we are in week two of this new discipline, challenging for us all, and he's used up his week's worth of time by wednesday both weeks so far! (kinda like me, he has a rough time with moderation.) mom's bday was last week and dad's bday is next week. got mom a 'happy light', which i have been wanting to get her for quite a while, but waited for the price to come down and customer replies to cheer up! planning on getting dad stuff for honey bee set up. went to a class with them a while back, was pretty cool. over winter is the time to set up for them. ack...gotta run.
