We had such a beautiful week of weather.  I sure hate to see it leave us.  Today is raining and raining.  While the weather was good I encouraged Noah to do as much bike riding as he could.  He loves the outdoors and I knew it was a short weather window for riding.  Olivia took advantage of the weather as well.  She rode Nick outside all this past week.

I have enlisted Mollie and Olivia to do a secret mission for me.  Mollie has Noah and will be finding out what is on his mind for Christmas.  Olivia has Harley and will do the same.  The boys change their minds so often it's really hard for me to keep up with their wants.  I'm so lucky to have kids that aren't all about gifts for the Christmas.  We truly enjoy the holidays and the fact that we are together.  It's a great time of year for us.  John takes his vacation between Christmas and New Years and it's awesome.  He gets to spend quality time with the kids.  I think this year John and I need to take a day for just the two of us on his vacation.  We really never get anytime to just do something with just us.  Sounds like a plan to me!  :)

Will is continuing his studies.  We are super proud of him.  Oliver has been doing so much better since being back on his meds.  He is a huge help around the house and has such a great attitude.  It's good to see!
