November
I guess I am getting back into my once a month updates again…it has been yet another terribly busy month! Where did November go? This month it has finally turned to cold…well, relatively cold…the leaves have fallen and thanks to the last few windy days the tree in our front yard finally shed most of it’s leaves. With Shaun studying for finals I have been tempted (only tempted…) to take it upon myself to rake the yard since it has been getting pretty covered but I didn’t want all my efforts to be wasted just to do it again as the rest of the leaves keep falling. And I am sure the neighbors would wonder why the big pregnant lady is outside raking by herself…one of them did give me a funny look and started to ask where my deadbeat husband was :), until he realized Shaun was out there with me today…
So fall is here just in time for winter and CHRISTMAS time!! Thanksgiving came, and it was lovely…aside from our cousins not being able to make it for dinner :( but I couldn’t wait to get to Christmas decorating this year. So after Thanksgiving we went out and got ourselves a Christmas tree and decorated it listening to the Forgotten Carols and a little Bing Crosby…It was wonderful!! Now I just need to keep Ada from ripping off all the ornaments! She is one little terror…luckily she’s cute.
The baby is growing, and I along with him! I feel like I was this big when I was about to deliver Ada! People think I am a lot further along than I am…and I have to tell them I still have 3 more months…I’m just going to get bigger! Well, I hope you are all enjoying the Christmas season! God Bless!

Thanks for sharing the Thanksgiving pictures. We were so sad that we missed it. I just saw that little skirt Ada was wearing at Target today and was totally debating buying it to save for Mel when she is older, but it looks like now I won’t have to! Yay for hand-me-downs!!
Oh and you have no idea how much I do not miss that dang tree!!! Raking up all those leaves is the worst. And don’t you love how they don’t all fit in the green bin?? I showed Tim and the first thing he said was how happy he is that he doesn’t have to clean out all the gutters this year…tell Shaun that is a really fun job. Miss you guys. See you later this month!

Thanks for the update! Are you guys going to be in utah at all over the holidays? We’ll be there from the 14th to the 4th. (This might make you feel a little better about the growing thing: with sal, I grew like crazy the first 6 months and then stayed the same for the last 3 months. Maybe you’ll do the same?)
