November 2012

I have fallen behind catching up.  You are shocked, right?  To speed up the catching up process, here is a really big post about November.  It was busy.  As usual.  When is our life not busy?

We started off with a trip to Nana & Granddad's in Georgia with time with cousin Chloe and Uncle Randy & Aunt Sarah.

 

The new thing?  Acorn hunting.  Granddad thought this would be a good way to clean up the yard, but the kids just left them all in piles on the back porch.  Not quite the help he was looking for.

 

We always go to the park down by Riverside when in Rome.  The cousins love playing together.

look at this cutie and those blue eyes :)

 

and she dances, too!!

 

Aren't they cute?

 

Even cuter when they all fall asleep at the same time!

 

Then we took a trip to Maryland to visit Aunt Elisha, Uncle Jonathan, Caleb, Esther & Anna.  Uncle Jonathan took the opportunity to teach the kids how to use the power tools to clean the front yard.

 

Manual labor is always good to know as well.

I love this picture.

 



 

Andrew had a cold/sinus issue that weekend.  Can you tell?

 

Being silly

 

The real reason for the trip was to celebrate Esther's 4th birthday, not to clean the front yard.  Elisha made these really cute monkey cupcakes.  They were adorable.

 

Movie / quiet time

 

Eric tried to teach them how to play Foosball.  Anna cheered no matter who scored.

 

Lots of miles on the car in November, but that is normal.  I try to not pass up an opportunity to get the cousins together.  (And I'm running out of time before the big move!)
