Catching Up, Part 3

Ok, now I'm up to November and Thanksgiving! Melissa, Luc, and Amelia came to visit, and we took a nice walk around Point Defiance. Amelia trying to keep warm...



Solly checking out the native plants (and thinking about eating some red berries, uh oh!).




My birthday cake, a core of chocolate and butter, glazed with another kind of chocolate with butter. So good...



Our friend Jim's "stomach stretcher" party, a pre-Thanksgiving feast. There were lots of bigger kids there. Solly really likes to play with bigger kids, even though he quickly found he was out of his league that night.



Speaking of grown up...







Lots of new hobbies! Smelling spices (a daily activity)...



We like this one!



Sitting at his new table and reading...



Thanksgiving was finally here! Dressing up to go to Amelia's party.



The family at the party.



Hanging with Joe at the party.



Amelia and her Mommy...



Melissa surveying the feast pre-dinner.



The feast!



Gobble, gobble!



Solly is learning great habits from other kids.



Luc and I in matching outfits...



Our community was rocked by the shooting of four police officers, as you likely know. The procession went past Solly's daycare, so the teachers got together and made a giant banner. The older kids held it up as the procession passed and then they sent it to the Lakewood Police Department. You can see Solly's hand print near the "T".



Phew, I am at least up to December! Next up, Chanukah!
