Phew, I am so glad that November is coming to a close as it has not been the kindest of months for our little family. It started out just fine, we had some of Jon's new co-workers come over for a dinner and drinks, then our high school friend Carlee came to visit; but, after that the cold/flu season hit us hard and poor Kai got the worst of it. 2 rounds of gastro (per kid) plus 1 round for the husband, an ear infection for Kai, and then an allergic reaction to his antibiotics. The poor little guy spent about 8 days at home sick this month. Fortunately (knock on wood) he seems to be healthy now and back to his mischievous self.

Grandma Rose is here visiting us until Dec 12 and the kids are so excited to have her undivided attention. I am excited to have an opportunity to go out for a movie with the husband one night! There isn't too much else happening right now as we have spent most of the month indoors getting healthy, but here are a few pics and hopefully we will have more stories next time.

For some reason he thought this would be a good stroller, of course he got stuck! I decided it'd be great to get a picture of it before getting him out of there.

I took Kira to a drop-in craft place and she decided to make her own puzzle. She had a lot of fun there and loves doing arts and crafts.

Doing some painting with Auntie Carlee. Kira loves when she comes to visit because she always brings a fun art project
