NOVEMBER


So crazy that November is already 1/2 way over. It has been a busy month. For eleven years, there was only 1 November birthday to fuss about. Now there are 5! Yes, amazing. It's up there with June/July for business. Of course there's also Veteran's Day, Election Day and Turkey Day. It has become quite a popular month. With that note, Happy Scorpio's to Preston, Psalms, Kiersten and Brooklyn.
We took some time earlier this month and went up to the cabin. We played tourist in Murphys and at Big Tree State Park. I'll let you figure out which pictures are which. Yes, those trees are big.
We're looking forward to our trip southeast (of here) for Thanksgiving. It'll be cool to see Brooklyn again. We have all sorts of car activities for the kiddies. No home yet for Jackson so if there are any volunteers...he's a very lovely, nice, big, brown dog.
The kids are doing terrific. Kindergarten and Britten get along well. Hailey has done a terrific job adjusting to pre-school and making friends without her brother. Britten can read some words and is doing great sounding out bigger words. Hailey can write her name with help and is making progress daily.
We're looking forward to June 13ish for the great big family reunion. And of course, Laci's graduation. It's going to be a one-of-a-kind event with all 8 kids, the outlaws plus their kids together. We're hoping for 4 generations!
We hope Grandpa Paul feels better and hope everyone has a thankful, safe and wonderful Thanksgiving...Go Lions!

Go Lions??? Hahaha POPS!!! The 49ers are out as well. Great pics of the trees. I haven't seen stuff like that in years. How awesome that they got to experience it. Congrats Hailey on writing your name. Rayann is doing puzzles that are for ages 3 and up without help from me. It is so incredible to see their minds working.
