New November

I was bad at taking pictures this past week but I forgot to have our professional pictures shared on the blog and had only done FB thus the pictures...

Claire

She discovered her neighbor this past week over the fence who stands on their trampoline and shares toys by trowing them down to her and then they try to give them back by standing on our little chairs. The next morning she wanted to go out there first thing and call out to have her come play again but I kept telling her that its cold in the mornings. Our week has been pretty uneventful besides taking down Halloween decorations and Claire always wanting to help with things. She has enjoyed earning candy when she eats all her regular food and is learning how many different types of candy there are now that we have a bigger varity. I've hid some away to become Christmas candy for our advent calendar that I'm realizing we might not use very much unless we pack it on our trip to family this year. 

Shay

She seems to always be the one who asks for baths and usually any time of day, but she is also the one who poors dirt on others to cause the need for a bath. I can see her frustration when I ask what she is saying over and over again because I can't understand what she is saying which happens because her sounds aren't super developed. Although Claire still calls her baby Shay sometimes she is getting so big and they aren't very different in their height and weight or how much they eat. They are still different in their preferences where Shay likes milk still and Claire likes apple juice, they have different shows they like and toys they prefer playing with. I think they like having things that are all their own and to argue with each other which solidifies their interests as different.

Season

It is fun to think about this season for many reasons, but mostly because it makes me feel excited about the holidays coming up and start planning about thinking of others. Chris really likes the rainy overcast days we have had over the past month and I've enjoyed stealing to wear his sweaters. I also like seeing the pictures in memories about getting engaged 6 years ago and that makes me think about how wonderful my life has been over the last 6 years with Chris. We have been blessed with such a wonderful life together and as we were having a movie night watching Fireproof it was apparent that we are extra blessed with how well we have learned to communicate and have the Lord in our lives.
