Numbvember

November has been rough and there's a lot going on.  We are all heartbroken at this time as Nana has entered hospice car for her terminal cancer.  It's been a very emotional time and Kara has spent a lot of time in Nebraska.

We're very thankful for the girls and their kind hearts and maturity.  We've had some fun times this last month and here are a few photos of it all.  Pip was proud to be student of the quarter in three classes and both girls were on the honor roll.  Nina was proud of her work in a Chinese competition and she thinks she might have earned a trophy for later in the year.  We've been spending some time together playing nintendo switch with boomerang fu and mario party.

Cool exhibits at the Luminarium

Another school year has started and things are going fairly smoothly.  The girls are back in the same school for the first time in a while and adjusting nicely.  Pip has started trombone and likes it so far.  Nina has been babysitting more as of late and now seems to have more cash on hand than we do.  We've all had fun with the Homecoming festivities and we're enjoying a warm fall.  Other highlights have been the weezer concert, volunteering at the Twin Cities Marathon, the Japanese Lantern Lighting Festival, and, of course, Kara's birthday.
