Backtracking - Lot's to catch up on....Starting with the rest of November 2007

Chalk it up to an extremely hectic schedule our entire family has been experiencing. The last part of 2007 was a bit challenging for all of us. Each of us experienced (and some of us are still experiencing) personal struggles, but together, as a family, we support each other and work through it all. Since we like to focus on the positives in this communication, that is all that will be said on the matter and the next entries will will be to share the brighter side to what has been going on with the Tuman-O'Krongly Family.










In November, we celebrated Lindsay's Sweet 16...and she really is Sweet and 16! We had a party, where Lindsay invited 75 or so of her "closest" friends. There was a DJ, lot's to eat and a Spiderman Birthday Cake (don't ask).


Here are a few pictures from the party and the famous Spiderman Cake!























We have been working on getting a little play group together for our furry kids - Frodo and Teddie. Once a month we meet several other owners of Soft Coated Wheaten Terriers at a local dog park. Frodo is getting better a making some doggie friends - he still fancies himself a person. Teddie, well, she is still getting used to being out of a cage and around other living beings altogether - canine and human alike. She is a challenge, but we love her (just wish she would quit peeing on my carpets!)

One final highlight from November is the LHS Varsity Dance Team Competition - they placed first at their first competition of the season for their Jazz routine...here is a team picture of the girls....
