A long time--be sure to scroll down b/c I added some new pics

Well I know it has been a while since our last post, but life just gets in the way sometimes:)

Things in the Krenzke household are going great. Taylor is loving 1st grade and is reading like a champ! I am so amazed to watch her reading books now (not just memorized from me reading it to her but actually reading the words)--it's so cool. Taylor has been busy with rehearsals for her first ever play--she is in the play "The Best Christmas Present Ever" and it will be at our church on Dec. 12 and 13th. She is in the chorus (which happens to be the main part of the show) and has a solo towards the end of the play that will absolutely touch your heart (I have to admit, I get tears in my eyes every time she sings it--she's wonderful).

Easton is liking preschool and has a couple of new buddies. It's nice seeing him find friends (sister is like a social butterfly). He has been skating once a week for the last few weeks and is getting better by the minute (at least that is what I'm told--I haven't seen him because he usually goes with Grandpa or daddy). I can't wait to see him out on the ice! He starts hockey again in January. He, too, is going to be in the Christmas play but just for one song at the end of the play with all the Sunday schoolers.

Jason is back in the swing of things with school and teaching. He is feeling fabulous and has been off treatment for 16 weeks now! He heads back to Duke the beginning of December and we're hoping that will be our last trip there for a while. He's up North right now trying to get himself a deer--he would really like some venison. Baseball is just around the corner--he'll have clinics starting up in February and I'm sure it'll be here before we know it.

I have been busy with the kiddos, work, and getting myself ready to go back to school for nursing--yes, I said I'm going back to school and I.am.so.excited! This has been something that has been on my mind for a couple of years since going on my first mission trip to Haiti. The time seems to be right for me to do it, and I will start a couple of classes in January. It's interesting, everytime I tell someone that I'm going to go back to school to become a nurse, they say "you'll be good at that". I sure hope everyone is right:)

Blessings to everyone and I hope that you have a wonderful Thanksgiving! Joslyn
