November 2013

Highlights from November 2013:

One thing we hadn't done in Cedar City was check out the volcanic rock formations in Three Peaks Recreation park.  It was a blustery day but I am glad we went before it got too cold and we lost our chance.

All the Cedar wind made for a lot of work raking up leaves in our backyard--(especially since it was obvious that it didn't get done the year before with the last owners). It was a lot of work but Lucy did have a great time jumping in our leaf piles.

By the time Thanksgiving approached, we got one of our first big snow storms. That same day our TMC dental school friends, Sean and Amy visited as they were driving through.  It was great to catch up with them since we hadn't seen them since graduation.  

We had a fun Thanksgiving weekend with Mark's family and stayed the weekend at my parents'.

One of the things Lucy loves about Grandma's house is the room of stuffed animals in her basement.  This bunny she is swaddling was the stuffed animal winner this trip.

Another favorite was also this cow.  I was worried about Lucy still fitting in a pack and play but I shouldn't have been because Lucy didn't mind her lack of space. :)

Landon even got in on some of the action as I caught him snuggling with a nearby stuffed animal in his pack and play.

We also did a little Christmas shopping during this time.  While in the toy aisle, Lucy found this stuffed kitty cat.  She would not put it down so we let her hold it while we finished our other shopping.  It took forever to go anywhere after that because she walked around slowly cradling it like a little baby.  It was so sweet!



The rest of these pictures from November just represent some of the normal goodness of enjoying these kids during the month.

 

This one is Lucy showing me how pony was riding her tricycle.

I thoroughly enjoyed this moment.  Lucy came into my room in the morning after I woke up, held her hands like this, and said something like, "Come on Mama.  Get up.  I'll catch you."  :) I love that little one!
