We had a terrible Thanksgiving this year. I woke up Thanksgiving morning to my computer crashing. It was none other than the blue screen of death, and the worst part was that I specifically planned on backing up my files this weekend. There went that. I had to take it in on black Friday, and I still haven't heard back. I am mourning my computer like it were a member of the family (how sad is that?). And yet, I am able to blog. Jacob ordered a netbook that I haven't been able to send him yet, and so thankfully I still have the internet. What I don't have is all the cute pictures and video I was going to post. Oh well. Life goes on.
As bad as my computer crashing was, I think Jacob had it worse. First of all he was given notice at the beginning of the week that he is being moved to another post. The person replacing him is female, which is very rarely a good thing in the Army. Jacob has felt like he has had great report with the MPs, and the members of the LDS group. He was hearbroken. Then their chapel caught fire and burned down. Then they didn't have any pumpkin pie at the DEFAC, only sweet potato pie. I guess it just wasn't our year.
On a side note however, Mary Emma is starting to act like she wants to grow up. She is finally using the sippy cup without a fight, and she is about to start walking. She took her first steps the day my parents arrived over a month ago, and then flatly refused to do it again. Well, this week she has started to "walk" on her knees, and stands unassissted, with a hesitant step here or there. I guess 13 months is the magic number for her.

I'm so sorry! Wish you were here, or I was there! We missed you all, of course, on Thursday, and all we talked about what your blue screen of death.
If it's any consolation, James has been off his meds. since Thanksgiving, and although I have been amazingly patient with him, I'm starting to kind of loose it. (Joseph held my hand and stroked my hair as I sobbed tonight). Oh well.
The sun will come out tomorrow?
I'll make it through another day, and so will you!
Love you.

Bummer year! Sorry about the computer, I go crazy if I can't get one for a day- pathetic, i know...Poor Jacob, that's so sad the building burnt down. All the disasterous Thanksgiving this year, is garateeing a fenominal one next year (lets hope) :)
WEll, either you just posted a ton of stuff or I have missed your updates--it was fun to read all that stuff at once--I love how you are always creating learning opportunities for your family--good job teach!
P.S. Are you using Spalding? You mentioned phonograms--do you like it?
Oh my goodness! I'm so sorry about your computer and Jacob's bad happenings. And of all days, the day to be thankful! Not fair!:) Tell Jacob, the next time you all are in the valley, I'll make an amazing pumpkin pie for him...or I'll buy an amazing pumpkin pie for him...whichever tastes better. hehehehehe
So sad! I am still glad you can blog! And I see the computer is back! That Mary Emma sounds like such a cutie! You're doing a great job!
