Thansgiving in Nebraska

We had Thanksgiving dinner at our clubhouse this year. Heidi and I planned, set up, cleaned up, cooked the turkeys, and a couple other tasks, and everyone else brought side dishes and/or dessert. We had quite a crowd and a really good time.


(Heidi has a picture of the whole group on her blog.)

Mom's (and Dad's) little helper

One of Ammon's favorite things to do is to help. It usually doesn't matter what it is, if we ask for his help, he's willing to do it. I don't know if I could have managed Ryan and Caden at the same time without his help. His "help" may not always be productive (and sometimes creates a bigger mess), but I'm grateful for his willingness to do what he can. Ryan and Caden were hungry at the same time this morning, and Ammon asked if he could feed Ryan, so I handed it over. He actually did a really good job and Ryan sure enjoyed it.

Sick

I didn't think it was possible, but we were sick the entire month of November! Not just passing around a variety of bugs, we were all sick every day for about four weeks. I thought this picture captured how we all felt.

My dad, Theresa, Logan and Samuel came to visit in November. We had a nice visit, but I wish we had more time!

Another visit to the Children's Museum

Ammon's favorite part of the whole museum is the water!

Halloween 2008

We went to the "Boo at the Zoo" on the last day. We had a good time, but I would suggest going one of the first days. It was really crowded. Ryan was obviously a little worn out.

Our little tree frog.

And the little tiger.

New background, finally!

Yes, I've finally done it. I changed the background from that pathetic generic one, thanks to Kristy! I promise to have a more visually pleasing background from now on....
