November in Review

Aunt Mary was here for a visit and left on November 1st. We started the month with some batting practice:

The weather was beautiful so we took every opportunity to be outside...
Mostly playing in the backyard...
But we also snuck in a few trips to the zoo:


Caedmon had a crafty playdate with his friends Stone and Grant and they made playdough turkeys. Fun was had by all! (mommy's photography skills leave something to be desired, though):


We also tried to practice being thankful. We learned Psalm 118:1: "Give thanks to the Lord for He is good, His love endures forever." And, we kept a large poster in the kitchen on which we wrote things for which we are thankful.

In mid-November, we were able to travel to Pennsylvania to see my family again.  The kids really enjoyed playing with grandparents and aunts.  And, Tom and I got a jump start on Christmas shopping!


Thanksgiving was low-key this year.  Tom and I cooked enough food to feed our family and lots more, but it was just us.  The kids LOVED the turkey...and Caedmon's favorite was homemade cranberry sauce.


We have so much for which to be thankful. The Lord has truly blessed us!
