November

We have had a nice November. It has been quite crazy, but a time surrounded by family and friends which is always great! We traveled to Iowa to celebrate my parents 35th wedding anniversary. We had a nice dinner with just the immediate family. It was so nice to all be together. We talked about how they met and their wedding. My dad proposed after his first date with my mom!

Here is a picture of my parents that was actually taken at our wedding, but I thought it was a nice one. It is actually their anniversary today, so Happy Anniversary mom & dad!


Here is a cousin picture (minus Olivia, Aubrey, and Logan) - these are so hard to take these days!



...and a picture of all of Landon's Iowa friends (which was hard to take too!)


Olivia turned 3 months. She's always sticking out her tongue like a little lizard...





We also had a Thanksgiving Party for the neighborhood and Sunday school kids. We had a great time. I pray that the Lord will grow the little seeds of the gospel that were planted and that these little ones might be saved at young ages.




Then, we celebrated Thanksgiving down here. The Bloom family made it down as well as Brian, Rachelle and Wesley. We had a great time together and ate lots of yummy food and had a couple shopping trips with the girls. My sister, Heidi, and her family stopped through on their way to Dallas and on their way back. We are so thankful to have such wonderful families on both sides. The Lord has truly blessed us.

M: Chicken Lasagna (didn't get to this last week)
T: Lime Chicken Soft Tacos (...and I didn't get to this) with chips and salsa
W: Ham & Potato Casserole
