In no particular order 🙂

Went Christmas-window-shopping. Taylor claimed to be watching the boys. Instead the boys were with me on the other side of the store, while Taylor was studying the lego sets. For research purposes, of course 😉

Speaking of legos: this “advEnt caleNdar” sign really bothered me. And now it gets to bother you, too! I don’t know what I would have done to fix it. Except to throw it out. And don’t get me started on the “builD Your HOLIDAY counTdown.” Blech.

The happiest baby we ever did meet!!! I could eat that little face.

I started a new internship at a financial planning firm. My first work day happened to fall on the company service day. We prepared lunch for families at the Ronald McDonald house. Awesome way to set the tone for a new job and a chill way to get to know the team.

Terra played the piano 🙂

And wore a silly hair band.

Arrow and Sander got into dress up dramatic play. They came barreling into my room looking like this.

I absolutely screamed.

LOOK AT HER FAT LITTLE FIST IT IS THE SIZE OF A TINY LEAF I CANNOT STAND THIS

These three little friends performed a trio in church! They were very brave and did beautifully.

I don’t remember when this picture was taken… perhaps we went to celebrate my dad’s birthday? Or maybe just a Sunday family dinner night? Glad to have photos the family together though.

Auntie Cami teaching Terra to crawl. Baby girl hasn’t quite figured out the mechanics of this one yet.

What church is like with Sander every Sunday:

We got to hang out with Maren and Nate for a little bit. These guys are so fun and kind.

Best of best friends.

Finally did something about the dang school morning craziness when kids can’t find their jacket, shoes, or backpacks. Everything is hung on their pegs. I have a timer that goes off at 7:50pm each night to remind the kids to put their stuff up for school. It’s not pretty but I spent $0 on it by using what we had or checking on the buy nothing group. (Thanks, neighbors!)

I didn’t get to talk about Archer in this post, but no worries, a big deal all about this cub is coming next!
