Thanksgiving

We are so grateful to live so close to our families. A snow storm blew in but that didn't hamper our Thanksgiving at all. 

 Chris made this darling fruit turkey.

 Venturing out in the snow.



 After Thanksgiving one we put Lincoln down for a nap while the other kids played in the snow.




 Thanksgiving 2! Yummy! Cory's girlfriend, Rebecca and her little girl joined us as well. 





We are grateful for our many many MANY blessings.

Most of November in 1 post

Lincoln turned 10 months old! He's developing quite the personality the silly busy boy!





 Jaden loves the bat Grandma Potter gave him for Halloween. LOL
 Jaden had to do a report and diorama on dolphins. He told me what he wanted and together we made it happen.  

 Some mighty fine fall art.
 Bella got student of the month!



More awesome art and awards.
Olivia wanted to read Haunted House one more time before putting all the Halloween stuff away. We read this book almost every night. Can you tell?


Sara came to visit. After a fun morning chatting and letting the kiddos play we took our whole troop to Rupes.







Who's messy?
 Lincoln is in disguise with Jaden's mustache. 

 The kindergarten did a hearing screening and language screening on the kiddos. Bella failed both. I felt so bad for not noticing anything sooner. We took her to an ear specialist and they tested her again. She has some slight hearing loss in one ear and he suggested getting tubes put in her ears. We should have done this long ago since she gets ear infections every time she gets a cold. 

  She's such a trooper. She brought Itsy her stuffed spider. The nurses thought that was pretty funny. 
Afterwards we went to McDonald's and got some breakfast and hot chocolate. She ate a whole pancake meal and all her hot chocolate so I figured she must be feeling alright!

The hospital also gave her this cute little bear and KayAnne gave her the big one when she got home. Thanks all for the support.

 Bella also has a speech class once a week at school which she LOVES!
