I have been such a slacker this month. Although November has been pretty uneventful, I didn't even take pictures of the few things that were considered "blog worthy".

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year, thanks to our good friends, Chad and Kate. Kates parents live here in Ohio and they were so gracious to invite us over and let us be part of their family. yummmm, what a wonderful meal. I attempted to make candied yams for my first time and they turned out deliciously!

Our little Ashley has a new favorite hobby, and that is climbing on anything she possibly can. Her favorite is our kitchen table and chairs. She has taken a couple little falls that you would think would maybe dissuade her from climbing back up again, but nothing stops her. We have now resorted to tying the chairs to the table with bungee cords so she can't climb up. A few weeks ago we had a chair that was not tied to the table, so of course in the 10 seconds we weren't watching her, she climbed up and took a little fall. She got a little cut on her eyebrow that we thought could possibly leave a scar. Of course these things always happen at night and on the weekends when your doctor is not available, so i took her to The Children's Hospital where i got to spend a few hours of my night. She was such a brave girl!I think it was harder on me watching her get her 4 stitches then it was on her.

Hopefully my next post will be full of pictures of our trip to Utah! We leave on the 15th and will be there for 3 weeks! We are excited to have Christmas with our family this year (last year was a little lonely hear all by ourselves) and we can't wait to see everyone!

I love the update. I'm so glad your candied yams turned out well, I think those are my favorite part of a Thanksgiving meal. And I'm sorry to hear about Ashley's mishaps. I hope she's feeling better. Have a blast in Utah!
