November

Jon took a class to be able to belay on the climbing wall and he was really excited to take Sean one day. 

He taught Sean the commands you're supposed to use and it's so cute to hear him use them properly. 

We've gone back as a family and it's a lot of fun. Sean is pretty fearless. It took me a few climbs to be able to go to the top. I was thinking about it and I hadn't gone climbing for about 20 years. That makes me sound OLD! Matthew won't go much over 3 feet high. That's ok. He still has fun in those few feet!

The boys continue to love Legos. They each made something for a building contest. They love posing with their creations. 

I dyed my hair purple! I have wanted purple in my hair since high school and I finally made the commitment. 

It's hard to see here, but Matthew was so sweet to help take pictures. 

Matthew has been doing this weird thing. He thinks it's hilarious:

We hosted Thanksgiving this year and it was a great time. We had a house full and it was lovely. Good food, great people, lots of laughing. Heavenly!!

Grandpa wanted to find a warm spot to sit. When the sun is out, this spot is perfect. He pulled up a chair and Matthew pulled up next to him. It was pretty precious.
