November

Preschool field trip to the Fire Station! Josh brought his fire truck with him of course. Oh that boy was IN HEAVEN!

Josh offered to share his fire truck with his buddy Benson-- so sweet.

Josh snuck out to the garden to play in the dirt RIGHT before dinner, so he got to eat his dinner out on the deck since he was covered in dirt.

She climbs EVERYWHERE.

I was asked to speak at our ward's Young Women in Excellence program. It was really fun. My friend Kerstin was in charge of the activity and she did an amazing job with the program, decorations, and food.

Family outing to Short Pump mall.

Show-and-Tell at preschool. Josh brought his Jet to share since it was the letter J.

Grandma, Grandpa, Gwen and Blair came to visit us the week of Thanksgiving!

Emma would be happy to be read to all day long.

Playing "Send a Letter"

Uncle Jason came for Thanksgiving too!

We did a lot of drawing, crafting, baking, cooking, thrifting, movie-watching, The Voice-watching, play-doh-playing, reading, and it was a perfect fun heavenly week together. As they drove away Josh said, "well that was a great visit!" Then he looked at me and saw I was crying and said, "Mom, why are you crying?" I said, "Because I'm going to miss them." He said, "Mom, it's time for them to go home now." Such a wise child, comforting his Mama. And then he said, "But they'll come back and give you kisses and you'll be happy again." Josh really is my angel who takes care of me and cheers me up.
