NovemberUpdate

Joe was gone with his job for two weeks in November leaving me alone for the first time with all four kids. With a lot of prayer and counting to 10 we managed, and even had some fun times with just mom. Because I also had my lasik surgery this month, we have just been too busy to blog. But here are some silly pictures so you can see what else we did last month.

We had an adoption fair at Boondocks in Sandy sponsored by the Adoption Alliance of Utah. It was great... Free food, free mini-golf, free go-carts, 50 free tokens for games, free climbing gym, and the FREEdom of not being stared at or singled out because you're the only family with mixed races! Don't get me wrong...we are proud of our little family, it was just nice to party all day with families that looked just like ours! Anyway, here is Ray on the go-carts! They were really fun!

Me, post-surgery. They gave me some other goggles, but I opted to wear my own which protected my eyes better from flying toys, stray hands, and little baby punches. Some of you may recognize these from my mission! (Sqaush!)

The three musketeers. We have our own little fun everyday while Ray is at school. I TRY to do fun activites with them like puzzles, flash cards, or crafts...but somedays we just watch Elmo and hang out together! Here Ruby and Solomon were so pleased because Ammon was holding onto their fingers. Aren't they so cute?

Solomon loves shoes and wants to wear everyone's shoes all day. Here he had on Ruby's boots and I couldn't resist a picture.
I didn't get any pictures of Joe this month because he was hardly here but he is doing really well and loves his job with H-11 Digital Forensics. He also processes orders for Jo-Sha Wipes at night (I do emails and calls for Jo-Sha during the day.) So he is busy but always comes home eager and happy to help and be with the children. We were thankful this month for our family and for our home and for a good job.
