November was another busy month, and on top of that my computer broke. It took us a while to sort everything out and eventually replace it, so I blame being almost two months behind on blogging on this. Expect a flurry of posts in the coming days. Here’s some of what we were up to leading up to Thanksgiving:

These two sweethearts have been joining me at night when I put Layla to bed. They sing songs with me and are becoming quite familiar with The Sound of Music soundtrack! I’m in heaven!

When he comes home from school in the afternoons, sometimes he likes to do this:

Happy girl!

For Veteran’s Day Kieron had to bring this star to class with the name of a veteran on it. He proudly chose Grandpa. 🙂   

Almost time for Turkey Day!

Here’s the rest of what we were up to during the end of October.

The three of us before heading out to (an adult) friend’s birthday party. Layla came along and the boys stayed home with Nana.

At Elysian Brewing Company in Seattle (wow that was a yummy lunch!)

Then we stopped at Volunteer Park to play

Lake View cemetery is just north of the park. The boys enjoyed walking through and looking at all the tombstones. Some notable people here include John W. Nordstrom, Guy Carlton Phinney, and Bruce & Brandon Lee. Here we are checking out one of Seattle’s founders, Thomas Mercer’s grave.

Silas really didn’t like it that some of the flowers were blown over or out of their holders, so he helped put them back. He started to get a little carried away with the rearranging, but it was thoughtful, nonetheless.
