Where has November Gone?

Where have I been?  Wow, not blogging I can see.  Well here is a quick recap of what we have been up too before I get too behind.
I took the kiddos on a road trip to Alabama.  They were amazingly good in the car and we only added an extra hour to our trip...I had planned for the worst.
We went to see Mimi...
 Uncle Bud and Cousin Brody
 Cousins Ella, Emma and to celebrate Aunt Dot's 60th Birthday!
 Everyone got to see and love on Zane for the first time.  Here he is with cousin Tiff.
 Seeing Grandmama was great!  And we loved spending time with Aunt Jen.
 After we got back home, it was back to my Motherly duties...playing princess.  Notice that my hair has been put in pig tails, one with a white tape measure and the other with a strand pulled from a pom pom.  We have a thankful tree and every night we have been writing what each member of the family is thankful for.  On this night, Summer said she was thankful that Mommy played dress up with her! Sweet.
 Zane is growing and has sprouted two bottom teeth...well they are still trying to grow tall but the worst part is over, hopefully.  Summer is in imagination overdrive.  I know that's good but those of us around her just have to hang on and wonder if we are supposed to call her Summer, Princess Summer, Ms. Debbie, Tooth Fairy...not to mention who our dog is...mean bear, nice bear, coyote...Luckily Zane is completely amused by her and it works out for Mama.
 And that is my QUICK recap!  Happy Thanksgiving Day or as Summer's hat says, "Get Your Turkey On!" Gobble Gobble Gobble. Those brown things are turkey legs on the side of her hat...not a good angle for the pic, sorry.

Not to mention that you stayed with Papa and Mammy, playing Mermaid Freeze Dance, and getting a surprise from The Cupcake Shop!

I am AMAZED that you take the TIME to write about all this, but so thankful that we have this history in writing. YOU ARE AMAZING!! After doing the night time routine for 1 night with the help of Do, I just can't believe how you do it!!! Especially when you add in the little extras like craft projects and play time. I am THANKFUL for you being the wonderful daughter, mommy, wife, but MOST of all doing it all with the Love of Jesus showing through in Everything you do.
