November tidbits

November has come and gone. With it has come the excitement of a wonderful job offer for JC. There has been lots of anticipation around our house!

The kids had a fun time shopping to fill shoe boxes for Operation Christmas Child. We enjoy participating in this Christmas giving with the Tinker's church in Carnegie. Each kid selects and packs a shoe box for another child their age. Even Cait helped this year!

Cam & Cait have been having a lot of morning fun playing legos at the counter. Cait can move a kitchen chair up to the counter so that she can climb the stool and sit with her brother. Nothing is safe anymore!!! At least she is putting less things in her mouth these days!

I've been looking for play clothes for Cait, because she gets SO dirty outside, and I thought these overalls are just so cute on her! The next picture shows the kitchen chair she moved to the stool so she could get brother's breakfast and drink! She's pleased with herself!

Brendan's pumpkin got hit with some throwing knives (I seriously did not know there was such a thing until recently!) and is shedding a tear. It was sad to get the boot to the trash can!

We had a wonderful and delicious Thanksgiving at my mom's house. We are thankful that the Tinkers join us for the day. We also enjoyed the day with my grandparents and two of my sisters with their families. Unfortunately, Cam came down with a fever shortly after dinner.

He had his fever for 3 days then Cait had it for three days. Coughs showed up after the fevers but I think we're finally healthy again!

JC's first day of work is today. We really don't know a lot about the job except that he will be a software specialist. It is a very big advancement for JC!

The kids and I are wrapping up school for the semester so we can take a Christmas break. We have plans to bake cookies, go on some field trips and maybe even just be lazy!
