Wow, things have been busy and I didn't realize I hadn't posted anything in 2 months!
In October, I was able to take a few days off work and go with Jake and the boys to Breckinridge, CO for a Lutheran educator's conference. The boys and I spent a lot of time hanging out by the (indoor) pool while Jake was at meetings. We also did some browsing around in shops and got to go out to eat several times. It was a beautiful drive, with lots of variety in the landscape.
Here are some pics on the way there and back...
Following the time away, we were busy with work and school. The boys had a good trip to a new dentist-- no cavities.
We had our first snow in October. Melted away pretty quick and got warm again, though. Here's a picture of the snow out in front of the school early in the morning.
We had a pretty good Halloween. Dave was Bart Simpson, and Andrew was a Zombie. I turned 33 at the end of October, as well.
In November, Andrew got to go to a classmates' party at a place called Airborne, which has all kinds of trampolines and ball pits to jump in. Work has stayed pretty busy for me, as well as Jake with lots of things going on at school in the Fall. Jake turned 36 this month and we celebrated with dinner at Texas Roadhouse. He also got to fly back to Ohio for a few days to play trumpet at a friend's wedding and met with a realtor about trying to get our house sold. Dave had a fun school project creating a board game with a group of boys in his 6th grade class. Both boys also participated in the Social Studies Fair at school on the 15th. Each student in the school chose a historical figure to represent and made a poster and dressed the part.
Today, we celebrated Thanksgiving at home. Jake was in charge of the turkey and I made the sides. The turkey ended up taking a little longer than planned to cook, so we ended up eating a "vegetarian" meal, and had turkey about an hour later! Lots of leftovers to work on this week! I missed my Aunt Debbie's homemade crescent rolls. We played Dave's board game after the meal.
Happy Thanksgiving!
