So my friends and family can be up on life here in GR

November

November was another busy month for us. We were here, there, and everywhere!

On the first we took an outing to Robinette's for some fun and food :)

Lots of monkeying around.

Cheering on her cousin Jacob's football team!

Peter went away so we were left to our own devices. So, it was a lot of petting Vincent the dog (and dressing him up), reading, and spending time with Grammy and Grandpy.

Mmm...will behave and smile for cake :)



November always brings a wonderful outing for Dutch American Heritage Day - another success!

Mmm a mornin' cup o' joe!

Taking care of baby. Lots for a Little Mommy to do.


Puggles! Learning that God made the animals :)

A few of her favorite things

Helping me wrap gifts - such a help!

November also brought new babies! Welcome Sweet Eloise!

A little Christmas started creeping in!


The highlight of our month was our trip to Louisville for Thanksgiving! 
Circling the wagons at Grandma's - please don't leave me!!

First stop was the Creation Museum and Ark. Loading the cars!

Whoa! What a boat!

Petting the donkey on the ark :)

Seeing the sites of Louisville, starting with the Colonel himself. Chicken anyone?

Baking pie with Grandma.

Color time! There were a number of Pilgrims dismissed from the faith due to their bright colors :)


Reading, reading, reading - it's a new favorite pastime.

Playing with cousins - so many of them!


On to the Derby! Pressing our luck!


Meeting some new horsey friends

Smashing pennies; a good investment for an 8 year old I'd say.

Racing horses


Making cookies and skipping rope

Slugger museum!

Although I asked him not to, Baby Rowan joined the world when I was away! Molly and I had to hustle on over to meet him once we got back into town!

Another surprise was waiting for us upon our return...what could it be?

Shazam! A new KitchenAid!

To round out our month, we visited Santa (total and complete bust) but seeing the beautiful trees was about the cutest thing :)

December is off like a shot, with nothing but fun in our sights!
