November

Catching up, once again.  After living in our house for 3 years, we FINALLY covered up the awful deep red color in the bathroom.  Some people liked it, I guess, but they didn't have to look at it day in and day out.  It was a bit much for such a small room.  We also updated all of the hardware and took down the mirror above the vanity and mounted a large medicine cabinet instead.  Yay for better organization and use of space!  =)  I love how it turned out, and it is much more enjoyable to look at...it's the simple things in life...

 New vanity light...thank you to Brian's dad for installing it for us!  He was here the weekend we (well, I) decided we NEEDED to do this project, and played with Isaac for us so we could get it done.  Also, a big thank you to my wonderful husband for doing over half of the painting so I didn't have to climb and breath so many of the fumes, even though it's definitely not one of his favorite things in the world to do.  We both agreed it was nice for Isaac to be able to spend some one on one time with Grandpa Bill though, since whenever we see him, Brian and I are also around.

 Also, a big thank you to our friend, Pete, for helping to put up the medicine cabinet.  One would think it would be an easy job, but it was rather heavy and awkward...Pete had the blisters to show it was not an easy task...sorry, Pete!  And lastly, thanks to JCPenney for having a great sale on all of the accessories...always feels great to hear the cashier say "you saved $120 today!"  =)

 November also brought our first significant snowfall of the year.  Isaac was not a fan of the snow last year, so we were excited to see what he would think of it this year.  We maybe should have waited until the snow had stopped falling...still not a fan as you can see...

 We spent Thanksgiving Day with Brian's side of the family...Isaac loved the corn on the cob Grandma Karen brought him as a special treat.  That, and watermelon are two things he really misses from the summer.

 Reading with Grandma...

 We then went to my parent's for a couple days over the weekend.  He loved the mashed potatoes...and eating them out of Grandma's antique bowls made it EVEN better!  =)  j/k, mom.

 Sitting in the rocking chair that we used as children...some things are worth hanging onto.

 Sleeping with Grandma...

 Out for a walk, sporting an ITCI hat (the company Grandpa Jerry works for).  He refuses to wear a hat for us, but apparently when Grandpa puts it on, it's okay!

 Deciding the snow isn't so bad, after all...

 Checking out the lake

December/Christmas post to come soon...I promise I won't let a month go by this time!!!
