A lately list

I'll have Jared flesh this out for me later, but here's a brief list of what is going on over here:

• Solei is in all-day kindergarten.  She has a fantastic teacher despite sending several people scrambling at her school (and another local elementary) to keep her challenged.  She's also doing great on the violin and piano at home. 
• Forster is in preschool 2 mornings a week.  He's getting so verbal and it's thrilling to hear the contents of his amazing brain!  I think we have another genius on our hands (ulp!).
• Reva is 25 weeks pregnant with a man-child.
• Jared commutes all the way to Madison for work now.
• Thanksgiving is next week (how did that happen??) and we are going to have a minimum of 12 people here for dinner.  Minimum.  I've nominated Nana and Jared to do all the cooking.
• My parents are in China teaching English for the year and you can read about their adventures here.  Whenever I think about how dull my life has become, I think of my mom and the adventures she has had as her children grew up and Dad started dragging her around the world.  It's heartening!
