ben's arm is healing well and so they were finally able to christen the band room with a 

practice session.......

there is nothing like visitors coming for motivation to get those things done you've been meaning to do...like.....

clean the leaves out of the stream.......

paint the trim on the
new band room windows......

hang curtain rods
and curtains...
(thanks for your help, dad!)

have our tech friends set up the new tv.......

we are so excited for our margo, paul's mum & dad, sisters and their families to arrive, we're ready for you guys.......

it is going to be a fun thanksgiving holiday!!

one fish....

two fish....

old fish....

new fish....

we had to say goodbye to our little four year old friend beta fish today.  

so sad....we just couldn't bear to see our big fish bowl lonely and empty so we went 

to petsmart and chose a new beta friend.  gabi named him something like.......crayton?
