November 2009

Well this is going to be a short update and a short montage because we really don't have much to report and didn't take many photos in November. Sometimes no news is good news. I still can't believe that the month is gone and we're only 23 days away from Christmas. You wouldn't know it here by the weather. We've been dry for a few days now. It's a little chilly, but not a cloud in the sky. We had great view of the Olympic Mts., now covered in snow, as well as Mt. Rainier and the Cascades getting progressively whiter too. I was sorry that I didn't have a camera with me today.
We had a lovely Thanksgiving with friends. As you will see, Matthew and Tia are becoming quite the item. When they get together they truly are like two peas in a pod. It's a blast to watch. I sometimes wonder who's having more fun, them or us?
I had a great birthday. My wonderful husband surprised me with dinner at Canlis which has fantastic food and a breathtaking view of Lake Union. And you have to love a date night with no toddlers every once in a while. Thank you honey!!
Matthew is still a constant source of entertainment. His latest accomplishment is sleeping in a big boy bed (it's just a toddler bed, but nonetheless a step up). I love it!! One of my favorite things is being able to sneak in his room just before we go to bed and tuck him in and give him a kiss and a snuggle. A little hard to do over a crib rail. And I love hearing him open his bedroom door in the morning, pitter patter down the hall and then climb into bed with us. What a great thing!
I hope that you all are enjoying this Advent season. Enjoy the show......

Very nice to get a slice of your life! Matthew is growing up! 30 months now . . . relish these years at home together. Your photos increase our excited anticipation of the first grandbaby, just a few weeks away, maybe even days??! The work and mess and noise of children seem insignificant compared to the joy of new life. We can hardly wait!
