Well, today we had the first “real” snow of the season.  This should be the snow that will stick around.  There is about 2 inches on the ground and we had light snowfall all day ranging from tiny whispy flakes to large fat flakes like cotton candy falling from the sky.

We received math class materials for Shawna on Friday.  These are from Keystone High School.  Shawna had taken the same Pre-Algebra class online with BYU but didn’t do as well as we had hoped.  Keystone has a different philosopy.  They send a text book (something vital missing from the BYU course) and a packet with worksheets, tests, envelopes to mail back tests and a three ring binder.  Also included was a student handbook which outlined exactly what was expected of the student and who, when, and how to get ahold of them in case of trouble.  The Keystone classes are all workbook and textbook based, not computer based.  That is- the correspondence classes are.  Keystone offers online classes as well but since Shawna didn’t achieve the results we had hoped for through BYU online, we opted for correspondence.

The new family blog site for the Rule family was completed on Nov 28, 2008.  It took a little work to find the right theme and to modify it slightly to meet our needs.

This should prove to be a great place to post current events, news and pictures.

Here are some pics of Halloween 2008.  Shawna was a Witch.  Shay was Little Red Riding Hood.  Sheree was the Angel of Death.  Shantelle was Wednesday from the Admas Family.

Yesterday was Thanksgiving.  There were 17 people here.  The weather was fair but it snowed about half inch last night.  We cooked lasagne and a 35.5 pound turkey!  There was no shortage of food.
