New Heat
November 21, 2012, Wednesday - Our downstairs heating/air conditioning system has become unreliable and so we made the big decision to replace it. The guys showed up early this morning and took the old one out and put the new one in. Yeah! We have heat now for our relatives that are arriving tonight. So thankful the company could install it the day before a holiday.
My brother and family arrived around 9pm. The boys played a little Wii before bed. So fun!

Operation Christmas Child
November 17 & 18th, 2012, Saturday and Sunday - Brittany and Nathan packed their shoe boxes today on Saturday. And Sunday we turned them in at church and had them dedicated. We pray for the children that will receive these that they will know the love of God. Update 12-23-12 - one of our boxes was delivered to Zambia.SciWorks
November 16, 2012, Friday - Today we took a Field Trip to SciWorks in Winston Salem with the 2nd graders. The school bus was over an hour late because a nurse for one of the kids was in an auto accident on the way to the school & the bus had to wait for a new nurse to get there.
I had 3 kids to keep up with. That wasn't bad until one mom just left and Linda and I noticed 3 kids without a chaperone so between the 2 of us we had 9 kids to keep up with.
Lots of exhibits to see indoors and outdoors. We also saw a show in the planetarium "Follow the Drinking Gourd".
5th Grade also scheduled a field trip today. I could not be in both places. :( Brittany went to the International Civil Rights Center & Museum in downtown. It opened Feb. 1, 2010. The International Civil Rights Center & Museum is an archival center, collecting museum and teaching facility devoted to the international struggle for civil and human rights. The Museum celebrates the nonviolent protests of the 1960 Greensboro sit-ins that served as a catalyst in the civil rights movement.
