We have been working on not overcrowding our schedules, so part of that has meant that although I’ve been wanting to get an update posted, I have consistently pushed that task out further and further. And just like that, it’s been two months.
We loved the fall leaves and time in the city with family and friends. Lucie and Felicity dressed up as Mister Rogers and Daniel Tiger for Halloween. IT WAS SO GREAT! We got to catch up with Rob’s cousin Kyle who came to visit with his lovely girlfriend, Jessica. We spent time with Abuela who came up over Veteran’s day weekend. We had a date night at a comedy show that will be a Netflix special some time in 2020. I had two mommy-daughter dates… one to see Frozen 2! We spent lot’s of time with friends and enjoyed a friends-giving at the Thomases where we brought homemade chocolate and apple pie! And Felicity got glasses! We’ve started to see some small improvements so we’re hopeful that the glasses can help her close the gap in her delays.
We memorized a verse together as a family, and it has been a helpful reminder during some tougher moments.
“Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” 1 Thess 5:18
Thankful for all of you! Since it’s been awhile, I decided to spilt my update into Nov and Dec, so I will share more of what has been going on recently in a follow up post… like a visit from Grandma and Abo! For now enjoy these pictures from Nov.
Love,
