November

Elizabeth attended a party where Pitt cheerleaders taught them cheers.

The children had a couple of days off for conferences and election day.

They chose to lunch at Houlihan's then play at a new park with friends.  

 

First snow of the season

Only Elizabeth went out to play.

Dressed up for Diwali

 

Fall is a great time to enjoy the zoo.  We took a friend after preschool on this day.

 

Popping their head out in the meerkat tunnel they were tickled to see an animal right above their heads.

 

A rare shot of us at one of the hospital parties.

At the end of Andrew's gymnastics session the parents got to watch them on all of the apparatus.

The weekend before we left for Thanksgiving Michael convinced me to make a full feast.

Cheers!

I am so thankful for a happy and healthy family.

We went to Great Wolf Lodge and had a blast.

The lobby was getting decorated for the holidays.

Best buds

 

After many hours in the water park we went to storytime in PJs.  Michael squeezed in another hour of the slides, since the lines were shorter.

Everyone had fun, we spent more time on the big slides this year.

We also love to warm up and relax in the hot tub.

Visiting my grandmother, aunts, uncles and cousins

Andrew was smitten with Alex's artistic ability.  Any animal he came up with Alex would draw.  Then Andrew happily erased it and requested a new one.

After a whirlwind trip the children were exhausted.
