Hello, mid-November. Where did you come from?!
The last few weeks has been a whirlwind of visits with family and friends. David’s mom came to help us while he had knee surgery (which went well and he headed back to his daily yoga practice two weeks post-op).
Each visit was wonderful, although I admit that we may have been burning the candle at both ends these past two months. As soon as our company left, we all took turns being sick, battling stomach flu, head colds and fevers. Clearly we needed to rest and recover, plus find time to knit.
Now we’re (finally!) feeling healthy and it’s time to get back to the rhythm of daily life just the four of us. After being stir crazy at home, it’s a treat to step outside and enjoy this gorgeous California fall weather. Family nature walks, autumn festivals, trips to the playground, and time with friends were much appreciated treats this week.
With homeschooling and the holidays coming, every moment feels full. We have some major crafting and gift making ahead of us this month too! I can’t believe we have just over one week until Thanksgivukkah. Have you started getting ready for the holidays yet?
And, yes, that photo is of my son standing on the piano so he can get a better look through the window. That boy…
Everyone is getting so big!! I think the little guy might DIE for the floor piano at FAO Schwarz – if they still have it!
Memories! I think they’d both LOVE IT!
My mom is actually making the Thansgivikuh menu when I go home next week! :) A few modifications (no Maneschevitz brine on the turkey, for example) but mostly intact. I can’t wait! :)
