Where Did November Go?

Here's what has been happening in this small corner of the world...

 At the beginning of November my parents came for a couple days to visit.

Jetlag finally caught up with him.

Brandon had a chance to show Grandpa and Grandma around his classroom.  He was very proud!

Bryan had an overnight lay-over in Seattle so we went down and spent the day with him.

One of the things he wanted to see was Pikes Place Market so we walked around there for a little while.  Somehow it came about that Micah should kiss the pig.  The first time he did it I didn't get it on camera so I asked him to do it again. However, by that point, Brandon had already climbed up on the snout.  And I present to you a future wedding picture...

Little Miss Lisa has been changing quickly.  She is now rolling from front to back and back to front and getting herself into trouble.  Yesterday she rolled herself into the mantle twice and got a couple scrapes on her head.  She didn't think that was such a fun game.  Today I heard, "Mom, come quick.  Lisa is so cute--she's playing with my duplo."  Somehow I don't think it will be so "cute" in a couple days when she starts taking said duplo and Thomas tracks apart.  And a couple times now she has flipped her jungle gym over on herself and played with it this way...

 

 

And she turned 5 MONTHS old.  Where did that time go?

 



The other day Brandon was at school and the house was REALLY quiet so I went on a hunt to find Micah.  I found him on the floor coloring away, perfectly content.  He had taken everything off the table and made himself comfortable in a way that Brandon had never thought to do.  It was fun to see him take charge of his own play.
