She had a Fall break so she was home for about 4 days. She is enjoying school. Only one bout of drama so far and nothing too serious.
Sister is in the hospital, 3 cm dilated amd they are breaking her water. Not exactly sure what all that means, but Im assuming goods things?
sounds like shes having a baby. hope this helps.
I think if she's pregnant these might be good things.
If not, that doesn't sound good for anyone.
We were just a small part of it. It was fun - most of the choirs were church choirs; there was a wide variety of gospel and classical. The Ames Youth Chorus did a gospel tune that I was very familiar with as it was a favorite in a former choir of mine, and I got to do a jazzed-up freestyle riff on the verses when we sang it. Really enjoyed the kids' performance.
BTW - if any locals are interested, our group has a concert on Sunday, 15 December. Message me if you're interested in tickets. We're doing a handful of chorale songs and a Magnificat.
I just watched the end of the Vikings/Cowboys game. Last throw was a 50+ yard Hail Mary by Dallas. When they cut to the endzone, it was like a feeding frenzy in an aquarium...a scrum of about 16 guys all in the right end of the endzone. It looked hilarious!
Spoiler - it ended up in the hands of a Viking. It was the first (and only) interception of the game.

I think it is, if you're Catholic (I'm not). Otherwise, it's typically a cantata with a number of movements in different forms.
This is "Magnificat in A Minor", written in 1745 by Nicola Porpora (if you want to look it up). Six movements; source text is Luke 1: 46-55.
It's been a loooooooooooooooooooooooong time since I've sung in Latin (really, not since college). One of the songs goes so fast I feel like I'm only getting every third or fourth syllable right!
So today is the
OFFICIAL XAVIER FOSTER ANNOUNCEMENT.
Of course this means the end of a really entertaining thread.
Or not.

Had a blast at SIL's wedding this weekend. Wedding was at St. Boniface Catholic Church in Waukee. Bride was brought up Lutheran (and converted to Catholicism), and groom of course grew up a mackerel-snapper Catholic. Was kinda funny watching during Communion as one side of the Sanctuary got up and the other one didn't.
Reception was at the Hilton Garden Inn in WDM. Food was surprisingly good (choice of chicken or beef). My BIL got way too drunk way too early and his wife had to take him up to their room.
The vixen and I danced until about 11:30, and by then I was ready for bed.
Followed the football game on my phone, took great pleasure in announcing (loudly) that the Cyclones had scored to get within 1 point at the end. Not so much fun after that, though.

as long as she was due about now, those are mostly good things. Little early to break water but maybe she wasn't moving along as they wanted.
Quick weekend in Chi-town to see Hamilton + dinner. Little man hung with cousins for the afternoon and despite my bit of nervousness at that (plus literally only having like 25 minutes there before we had to leave - DH didn't check train times before we left) he did really well and had fun. We walked around downtown for a while and got to see some sights. Musical was fantastic.
Though last night I was reading about the current lead and
It turns out that the lead's 3 year old daughter died of a seizure disorder in late October and he'd only just come back to the stage again. So that is terrible to read.

there's a part where Hamilton's son died and they sing a song about parents going through the unimaginable
