November In Pictures

I can't believe it is already December 9! This month is flying by just as this entire year seems to have done.

November had some firsts for us: Wyatt got strep for the first time and we went to a hockey game for the first time. Thanksgiving was really good this year -- I never know how holidays will go, but Thanksgiving was great!

The kids are continuing to enjoy preschool. They are excited for their Christmas Program next week. Lily is the head angel and Wyatt is one of the shepherds.

October in Pictures

Life has been extremely busy! The kids are loving preschool and AWANA! I am babysitting 2-3 days a week for a 15 month old and her 8 week old brother as well as working one day a week at church. We made a trip to Illinois at the beginning of October, went on a field trip to the critter barn, had a visit from Grammy, and enjoyed "Trunk or Treat" at church!
