CBS Friends

I've been involved in a local Community Bible Study (CBS) for a couple of years now. Jeff started coming with me last year. This group of people has been such a blessing in our lives. We also enjoy getting to study God's word with a group of brothers and sisters in Christ. The CBS class we are involved in is one of the few couple's classes, which is really nice for us because we can go together to the church. When our CBS group started many years ago, they started a really fun tradition. The church that the class was held in had an activity once a year on Thursday, so the group met in homes that one week. Ever since (eventhough we're not at that same church) we have met in a home of someone in our group. We each bring something to eat and share in a wonderful meal together. I think this is my favorite meeting of the year because you get to know the women in your group much more. This year my group met at our house! I am so blessed to have a space big enough to fellowship with all of these wonderful ladies! We had a great time together eating, talking, and finishing the book of Job.

Here's the wonderful spread of food:
All of the food was delicious (especially the deserts! YUM!)!

These wonderful ladies have been such a blessing in my life!

Bunny

About a year ago I got a bunny as my classroom pet. I have wanted a Netherland Dwarf bunny for quite some time because of their cute ears and they stay small. Small bunny = perfect for classoom life. So after the beloved Max (my old guinea pig) left us, I knew now was the time to get a bunny! Thank goodness my sister Anna looks on Craigs List all the time for animals because she actually found a Netherland Dwarf Bunny that was up for adoption! YAY! I got her a couple of days after I found the post and was so excited. The kids decided to name her Maddi after a character in the book Fever 1793 . If you like historical fiction books,  you should check it out because it's really good! Little did I know that bunnies are full of personality! On her first day home she bit me 3 times and got me 2 times with her nails. Good thing is now she likes me (most of the time) and is much more friendly! She lets the kids in the class pet her and feed her. She also hops around the classroom....

Katie

The last three weeks have been a bit of a whilrwind for my family. We found out that my sister, Katie, had stage 3 ovarian cancer. She went into the ER because she was having pains in her abdomen, and they found a football sized tumor. My sister is such a strong woman and was walking around the day after her surgery that removed the tumor! Katie decided to have some fun with her hair before her chemo treatments start. It's a good thing that we have a sister that is a hairdresser, she can do so many fun things to hair. This is what Katie looked like to start: Here is Lauren applying bleach to Katie's hair: Here is Katie as a blonde....I never thought I'd see one of my sisters EVER with blonde hair. I like the analogy she used...she said she looked like Orlando Bloom in Lord of the Rings. :) All the fun colors for Katie's hair: The final product: Please pray for Katie as she starts her first chemo treatment today! Love you sister w...

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving started off with a sister, husbands, and dog walk before we stuffed ourselves silly! A Riegel girl tradition started many years ago after watching Winnie the Pooh. Pooh and his friends play a game where they all put a stick in the river and see whose stick comes out on the other side first. We've called it Pooh sticks since we started playing. I won!  Back at the parents house ready to eat: Naomi enjoyed her first Thanksgiving meal: After Naomi's nap we went to have Thanksgiving with Jeff's family: Naomi enjoyed playing will all of the kids And Uncle Nich: Brother time:
