What about November?!?!

Some of you that are used to reading my blog may have found yourselves saying, "What about November?" when you are looking for updates. All that I can say is that December comes WAY too early. It's starting to take over November's events. If I were November, I'd be very upset with December. Anyway, here goes all of the posts I should have done in November...


I made my first cake, or I guess I should say, I decorated my first cake.

Lily has been doing and saying so many cute things. I didn't think she would ever talk and now she is talking in sentences. Of course, I have to translate much of the time. She says, I need help, I change (remote control), I sweep, don't touch it, let me out, and her favorite is NO! MINE! There are some pictures included here of her in a pink dress and red stipe pjs that were mine when I was the same age.

Luke keeps us laughing all of the time. His vocabulary is very large for a 5 year old (he watches too much TV) and he always amazes us with the words that he uses and uses correctly.

Liam is already a little engineer. He's constantly drawing. The drawing you see here is of a bike ramp, side and top view. He came up with that on his own. He also got a pretty good knock on the chin playing at school.

Lily is quite the diva, but she doesn't like the paparazzi as you can see...

We also got to go visit our new nephew, Joel. Here are some cute pics from that snuggly visit. Liam LOVED holding baby Joel. Even though the baby was crying loudly, Liam wanted to hold him one last time before we left. Luke took a bit to warm up, but after some bribes, he really enjoyed himself. Lily, however, wasn't sure what to think of the new kid in town....
