Although daily life has its ups and downs and is not easy, we are keeping with tradition of all our normal Thanksgiving favorites. Sandra is joining us from GCU and comes back some on the weekends. It has been a crazy fall so far with Pablo coming and going. We are thankful that Juan and Ingrid have sports in the afternoon to keep busy and are still involved in the youth group at church. One day at a time!
Angie wanted a Paris theme for her 18th birthday, just like her 16th birthday, so we had a big party for her with both her friends and some of ours. She had a great time, and we are glad it worked out. She has not pursued getting her driver's license yet nor having a steady job so we are trying to be patient.
Juan tried out for the football team at Odyssey and loves it. This is his first time ever playing, and we are so glad he has found another sport he likes. Our hope is that this physical activity will help give him an outlet for his emotions and aggression. His team was really good and ended up runner up for the 11 man in the championship. It was a great experience for him and so glad we got him to try!
