Communion Engagement Holy Souls

 Kili's First Holy Commuion!












 We had a lovely little party for him and are grateful for all those who came out to celebrate with us! Very special day!



 November 2nd is All Souls Day so we stopped at the cemetery each day to pray for the Holy Souls. Tom's father was top on the list list, of course.
 The next day was covered in snow.
 Bill was our farm fuel man for years, it will be 2 years this winter since he passed away.
 Our good friend Bill who died in 2010. I still miss him. He was so kind and caring.
 We have several of Roy's last woodworking in our house. A small table and chairs, a couple of coat racks. May they all rest in peace.
 Kili's eye exam. He needs glasses for reading. Not a strong prescription but will help!
 Aragorn has been big into geneology. On his father's side he found this name. We burst out laughing. I always wanted an Agnes since that is my grandma's name but Aragorn knew she would be called "Angus".  So imaging an "Angus Burger" haha! Love it!
 Catechis study of the Mass.






 On our way down to a tournament, there was a car accident ahead of us. People got tired of waiting and started turning around in the middle of the Interstate... that is, until a cop came and put a stop to it.



 Not a good picture but this person was hit pretty hard in the front end. Not sure the story here, but I'm sure there are some sore people involved.
 Since we don't eat meat on Fridays it's always difficult when we have to drive on a Friday for food but this time we scored! Sushi, fried rice, shrimp. Oddly it was a food court but it was very good.
 Merry tried chop sticks and asked who would eat such a small amount at a time. He's obviously not chinese, Korean or Japanese since we know at least that chinese can eat very fast with chopsticks.
 Wabasi was not favorable.
 Rosie at least was dainty in her removal of wabasi!

 Our 3rd engagement within 2 weeks!!! I feel very blessed to be gaining a son and 2 daughters for our 25th wedding anniversary in 2020! :)
 Rosie attended her first black belt meeting before the tournament.

 Highest ranking martial artist
 A demo team gave a nice demo.
 I tried my first attempt at a creative form (making up your own form to music, well, music is optional, making up a form is the main part). I used a part of the song "Trouble is my Friend" it seemed appropriate haha.
 Tournaments require lots of waiting.

 Merry: 3rd in forms, 1st in combat and sparring
 Pippin 3rd in forms, combat and sparring
 Rosie 1st in forms, 3rd in combat and sparring
Me: 1st in creative form, traditional forms, weapons, combat and sparring.
