My first week of school went okay. My students were really glad to see me. They wrote me so many sweet notes. I felt lost for a few days, but I am getting back on track. We only have two days of school this week because of Thanksgiving break. I'm already looking forward to my days off.

Chase is still having a pretty rough time. He has a hard time in the morning getting ready for school. He seems to do better in the afternoon. I'm trying to keep him busy so he doesn't have a lot of alone time. He started basketball last week and he is excited about that. Please keep Chase in your thoughts and prayers. He was really close to Canon and this has been really tough on him. Kamryn is doing fine. She's just glad to have her mommy back!

I still feel so lost at times. I can be doing something and then all of a suddden reality hits me in the face. I can't believe Canon is not here! I feel him hugging me and patting me on my back like he always used to do. That little hand pat was always so sweet. I miss his hugs and kisses. He wasn't a touch feely child to other people, but he always was to me. Each day is getting a little better, but it is still so hard.

I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday!
