- Feed the ducks & geese
- Share our bubblegum
- Go to Chuck E. Cheese
- See a movie at the movie theater (Happy Feet)
- look at Christmas lights
- Play games (Let's Go Fishing and Hide & Seek)
- Watch a lot of movies at the house
- Play with our toys
- Make birthday cakes
- Go to Walmart
- Take a nap all together in a big tent
- Eat some yogurt with them
- Eat turkey & pumpkin pie & celery & Jello & sweet potatoes
- Wrestle (we had to nix this one because Nolan knocked his front 2 bottom teeth VERY loose again & I don't want them to fall out!)
- Read books
- Play ball with them
- Play in the sprinkler (don't think it'll be warm enough for this one)
- Play with toys in the bath
- Show them our Superman stuff & pretend to be Superman

Update

John did not get into the Lubbock Police Academy. We were shocked. But we agree that what is meant to be is what will happen. John has been focusing on & trusting in the verse in Jeremiah (29:11?) that talks about having a plan to give you hope & a future. He believes that God is guiding him into the right path for him to follow ... and it looks like being a cop isn't his path, at least not now & maybe not ever.It has been really nice to know how many people have been thinking about, praying about & supporting John in this endeavor. We have the best friends & family! THANKS!
