Halterman Happenings: Attitude of Gratitude Month

Attitude of Gratitude Month

So this blog has gotten a bit mixed up lately. Every summer I get thrown off-track by traveling, getting out of my routine, and taking lots of pictures. I always intend to get caught up by Christmas but it rarely happens this busy time of year. This year I have been focusing on building my other blog, and moving in, and keeping Tessa from destroying our new home, etc., so I am especially behind.

Regardless, I have been witnessing the power of gratitude lately, and I want to use this blog to help our family have an "Attitude of Gratitude" throughout the month of November. We are going to keep track of things that we are grateful for EVERY day, and I will periodically post them on our side bar.

I know this is a time of upheaval and turmoil in the world, but we have been greatly blessed, and I think it's always time to remember that--but especially in this month of Thanksgiving!

And look for random postings from current events, or summer, or whatever, and hopefully I will get it all sorted out some day when I print my blog book.

Meet the Haltermans

2011 finds us as a family of six and as busy and crazy as ever. Barry continues working at Clear Creek Associates, which we consider to be a tremendous blessing, given the current state of the economy. Barry is serving in the Stake Young Men's Presidency, and I am in the ward Primary Presidency at church. Besides being busy with a new baby and his brother and sisters, I am teaching Let's Play Music Classes, and blogging about my creative endeavors at meandmyinsanity.blogspot.com. Kira (9) is enjoying drama club this year. She has read more books thank I probably have in my life. She's learning the keyboard quickly in music class. She was asked to give a speech at the ribbon cutting ceremony for the new building at her school. Trenton (6) is adjusting to 1st grade and homework. He has suddenly become an excellent reader. He has a gift for music, but not a gift for following directions. *sigh* He still plans on being a scientist and is full of all the imagination and energy that a 6 year old can have. Tessa (3) has recently taken up hairstyling. She is responsible for the short hair do she is sporting now. She loves preschool, dance class, and attending music class (even though she isn't old enough). She's a little computer addict and will play Dora all day, if we let her. She's quite the artist on paper and on walls. She likes to write "T's" for Tessa on everything. She is a sweet big sister to Alec. Alec (8 mos.) is a mover and a shaker! He is exhibiting the same determination as his siblings in learning to get around. He is really a delightful baby! My only complaint is that sleeping is at the bottom of his priority list. He loves people and makes friends wherever we go.
