November was an eventful month for us, both good and bad. Here's what it looked like:
THANKSGIVING '09
We really have so much to be thankful for this year. Wonderful family, sweet children, healthy bodies, a good place to live, kind friends, and most of all, the gospel of Jesus Christ. We had a great thanksgiving, thanks to my family who hosted us so well!

The girls made these cute candy turkeys while waiting for the real meal to start.

This was my first attempt at a pumpkin pie. Gracie helped cut and shape all the dough leaves.The trickiest part was transporting it to my parent's house!
GRACIE'S 1st GRADE PROGRAM
This program was so cute. Her amazing teacher made them all matching shirts with their names on it. They sang songs all about the family (by the way, I sang these same songs in MY kindergarten program...how weird is that!) Gracie even had her own speaking part to memorize that was quite lengthy...I was so proud of her.

SWINE FLU ATTACK
We've all been sick with various issues these past weeks, but I think we're starting to recover. Sophie and Ben were the sickest, and Sophie later developed pneumonia. In the midst of all the swine-flu-ing, I was having pretty bad chest pain. The doctor heard this strange "squeaking" sound in my heart, sending me through lots of testing and doctors visits as well. In the period of 3 or 4 days, we went three times to the doctor, once to the instacare, twice to the pharmacy, once to the lab, and once to the ER. We are usually pretty healthy people, so all these medical issues caused a bit of stress in our family! But thanks to my sweet mom who braved exposure to the virus and came to help us, we made it though. She did laundry, cooked meals, and stayed up with Sophie almost all night. Thanks so much mom!
