Reunions and November Activities

I don't have much energy to write a lot today but I at least wanted to share some pictures from November--

First here are some photo's of the girls taken at the beginning of the month:

Side walk painting and outside time!

Sister love.





A good afternoon nap is so much better when shared . . . . :)

One night when my sister was here, I stayed up late talking to her. When I came upstairs to bed I was greeted with this. It was too cute a scene to not capture on "film". Even though she had a whole half a bed to sleep on, she had to be right close to her Daddy! (Hannah comes and gets in our bed around midnight or after every night. She usually snuggles right up to her daddy. If we are sleeping close to each other, she wedges herself in the middle. . . .)




Trying to capture Elanor's smile . . .

Pictures from my sister's visit the third week of November: (She came down for a reunion with our childhood friends from Kenya who are also sisters!)

Snack time on the couch!




Loving on Elanor:



A fall afternoon walk:



Laura and Julie-- our dear life-long friends. Julie was Rachel's best friend and Laura was mine growing up in Kenya. We had such a sweet reunion with them! I am so thankful to know both of them and have been blessed in uncountable ways over the years by the fact that God put them in my life.

Our children--there are eight of them now!






We got to enjoy a peaceful night out eating Indian food (a favorite from Kenya days) thanks to our husbands who watched all the kids (except Elanor of course.)

That's all for now! I have to sort through the literally hundreds of Thanksgiving pictures we all took and then I'll post a smilebox! :)
