Odds and Ends

After surviving the lice incident, we did our best to continue schooling amidst preparations for our trip to Arizona for Thanksgiving week and the upcoming holidays. Nothing terribly exciting happened, but here are a few pictures that were taken in November.

I began preparations for Christmas cards before Thanksgiving in hopes of staying on top of things (ha ha). But this is just one of 10 takes to get one that would work for the card.

I spent so much time relaxing and enjoying our time in Arizona that I didn't take pictures of the family or anything we did. I guess I brought it out briefly and got this one picture of Jamie, Samantha, and Laurel with their cousin Maryanne.
