More School Program Pics

Now here are a couple of other pics of the Christmas program and Kathryn and Ms. Susan, the best teacher in the world...

Pre-Christmas Fun

We had lots of pre-Christmas activity this past year. I was still in regular classes finishing up my Camp 4.4.3 (4 listings and 4 sales in the first 3 months, which didn't actually happen, by the way) and taking a course to get certified in short sales (which may actually come in handy because I'm making a connection with a banker in Dallas to hopefully handle their foreclosures). Kathryn was in the Christmas parade with Melissa on the Rotary float and she, Analise, Kyla, Gavin and the rest of the First Christian preschool kids had their Christmas program, which was something of a hoot. I inserted a clip of part of the program below. Click on the arrow in the middle, then on the play button underneath, then take a 30 second nap before the song actually begins. This year my goal is to learn to edit this stuff.

Now for the rest of the Thanksgiving pictures I have. I used to think I didn't take pictures of Kristi when she was little. I have better equipment now than I did then and am worse about taking pictures. I'm pretty sure that Kathryn will believe I didn't exist except in her mind when she gets older because there are so few of me, and I got almost none of Harold this time, either, but here's what I got. It was a little sad for us at Thanksgiving because Ruth wasn't with us. She wasn't feeling up to traveling, and Ann and Mike took food to her. She's doing so much better now and is moving into an assisted living center in Ft. Worth where Ann and Annette can see her really often and we can go move often as well. We'll even get to see more of Ann and Annette and their families (hopefully) since we'll be in that area. Anyway, here's some of my beautiful daughters and granddaughter and the ever photogenic Nolte family.

All right already, I'm coming back on....

Heckled by my older daughter, who hasn't even STARTED a blog yet and posts almost no pictures to FB, I am reviving my blog writing. Actually, I've been meaning to continue this for a while and was really embarrassed to see that I hadn't entered anything since Disneyworld in November. Not that I've been busy or anything...

My real estate career is progressing pretty well. If all goes well, I'll actually get a closing accomplished in the next few weeks. It will be my first. I've been trying to be vigilant about the networking and marketing, and I think it's beginning to pay off. We'll see. I'm really enjoying learning a totally new field and have set my income goal for this year which I'll be working hard to accomplish.

Thanksgiving was a blast. It was so good to have Kristi, Travis, and Brenna with us. Here are some pictures of Kathryn and Brenna in their mouse hats. Following this post, I'll post some pictures of the rest of the family.
