The Land of Little People: November's Going's-on

Things keep rolling on here. We've gotten snow a couple times now, but just barely enough for the kids to get excited and to think that Christmas must be here soon. Nevan loves to go outside to play with it, but it's too cold for Mommy and Daddy gives up fairly quickly too. Knut has progressed so far in school he is going back to half day classes. It is great seeing how far he has come in just a few short months. He loves to write sentences and has started sounding out the words for himself to write out without asking.

I hosted a Shutterfly party and received a free 8x8 book and a set of Chirstmas cards. I did the book for Nevan of birth to 2 years, so of course I had to take some recent pictures and he is a ham when the camera comes out.

Life in a bucket

This was the cover of the book.

As we get settled in, we are getting more involved with different activities and at a local ham radio meeting we got to listen to a presentation by Idaho power about electrical safety. It was kind of freaky to see those sparks and definitely a good reminder to be safe and aware of all the potential hazards around us.

The kids have been having lots of fun earning game time with Daddy. The current favorite game to play is a driving/flight simulator. They don't really do too bad, just Keileigh keeps thinking she can take her hands off the wheel and still go in a straight line.

The snow didn't last too long on this day, but it was enough for them to get all bundled up in their new jackets and scarfs and go stomping. Nevan loves to watch it come down and will yell, "(s)now, (s)now, come see" and drag whomever is closest to the window to watch too.
