Hi!
Sorry, we (rather I) don't post very often here... we do it rather more often on our blog, so you should check that out too.
Looks like everyone else is doing pretty well. Rebecca is becoming a pottery making genius, Elizabeth looks all mature (the picture in the little dress), and Catherine and Joseph are working hard on their house... by the way, we're voting for the baby coming early so we can meet him/her next week. See if you can manage that, we'd appreciate it. :)
So, since we spent Halloween in class (I gave a three hour presentation) and avoiding frat boys on the way home, and since there are no babies here (except for the millions that seem to be constantly born to our friends), and since we are not doing any home improvement, I'm kind of at a loss for what to write! Well, we've been doing a lot of cooking, and studying. We're excited about a week off to relax and see many of you! We're arriving in ND sometime in the afternoon/evening next Tuesday.
So... cooking! Squash is in season, and I'm trying to do better at cooking with what is in season and local. Yay! Keith is getting sick of squash. But, here's our ridiculously huge zucchini that we brought home after church on Thanksgiving (since we live in Canada, we already celebrated Thanksgiving once, on October 8). We had grilled zucchini, soup, and zucchini bread... not to mention there's a bunch in the freezer for further zucchini bread. Pumpkin and butternut squash soup too! (See, I am a good little wife when I want to be. ;)
We've both been working really hard to learn biblical Greek (just Keith) and Hebrew (both of us), and I'm brainstorming and researching towards my Arts Thesis--an interdisciplinary performance-based project which will involve both music and theology.
I'm also WORKING. Imagine that. I'm teaching cello for inner-city kids one afternoon a week. I'm also the worship intern at my church, since one of our pastors is on maternity leave (I told you all my friends were having babies...) and since her husband is the other pastor, he wants time to be a father... so I'm doing some work, planning services and working with musicians. It's really fun, and I'm learning a lot.
That's it for now! Looking forward to our visit next week! :)

OK Celia. We had three weddings in one year, I just can't understand why you didn't want to have the third grandchild in one year! Not keeping any secrets are you? If you have a good recipe for pumpkin soup, I would like to try it
That is one huge zucchini! Sounds like you are busy up there in Canada! We are too, but it's with keeping up with the kids in school and still finding places for things in the house. I have a great recipe for pumpkin soup I'll have to post. I'm glad you're doing well!
That is one big zucchini, but the bread and things you can make with it.
(What is with Granny O....boy has she got the Grandma bug or what?)
I love your posts Celia.
We need to have Keith and Joseph and Christopher and Rebecca post too.
