What a month! A lot has happened in November!
We started with Annie & Jacob's birthday. We re-painted Annie's room for her, so she now has a "girl room". She was very excited, and now likes to sleep in there every night. (Before, she would cry because she didn't want to be by herself. I guess she's growing up now, and enjoying being a "girly-girl".)
We also had her birthday party and Jacob's combined. I don't know how long we'll do that, but right now it works! They both had a wonderful time at their party.
After their birthdays, which we actually had at the end of October, we "celebrated" Halloween by going down the street to a church's "Midway". We took 6 kids: 4 of ours, plus two more!
They all had a lot of fun playing.
THEN we decided to get a new puppy to replace our 11-year-old black lab that died earlier this year. Dakota is a black lab, too, and is about 2 months old (probably only 6 weeks in these pictures).
Later, our favorite band
Dear Future dropped into Beaumont for a visit. We got to go to their concert, and they stayed with us for the evening and most of the next day. The kids thought it was awesome to have Real Live Rock Stars in our house. :)
Of course, then came Thanksgiving!!! I don't have any pictures from the actual day, but I do have a picture of Jacob helping me peel potatoes!
We had a great day, even IF my parents weren't there - they went to Illinois and spent the holiday with my sisters up there. (I'm jealous.)
We also celebrated something else on Thanksgiving Day - we told our family that we are EXPECTING BABY #5! We are terribly excited! He/she should arrive sometime mid-summer 2010. The kids are already taking boy/girl bets. I bet you can guess how the lines are drawn!
So, all in all, this has been a wonderful and busy month. I'm sure December will be the same, so don't expect too many blog updates - maybe just one big "December" update like this one!
