At Last!

I am sick. We are all sick. That is my latest excuse for not updating....but I am going to buck up and get to it. November was crazy. Busy and crazy. One thing that was fun was making chocolates. My great aunt taught me how 3 years ago and ours look nothing like hers. Her chocolates look like they come straight from See's Candies, ours don't. Then again, she's been making them for 20+ years. Smantha had a lot of fun helping, but I think she ate more than she helped. We also had a chance to play with Sammi's friends one last time. They kept pretending to go to sleep on the stairs. They thought they were really funny. She keeps trying to play the game but since I'm too big and Paul's too little, she and her babies go to sleep. It's actually a little sad. Especially since she keeps asking for Jason and Talmage. We look at their blogs every day so that we can see them. She will tell me "I love Jason sing ABC's" and "Talmage really funny for me." Emily- we have watched Jason sing his ABCs at least 500 times. Not kidding. Trying to pack up was crazy with two kids. Luckily we had a couple friends who were able to watch them for awhile and the rest of the time they were pretty good at entertaining themselves. This isn't to say there weren't multiple meltdowns, but still, it went better than I had anticipated. Samantha and Paul had a lot of fun playing in their "tunnel."
The last picture of her is when she's sleeping the last night in the house. Her bed was taken apart, and I guess she thought this was the best way to fall asleep. Last, but not least, Paul turned 6 months on Nov. 12th. CRAZY! I can't believe he's that big. It seems like just yesterday that we were bringing him home. He has grown a tiny bit since then...now weighing in at a whopping 19 lbs 10 oz and 27" long. WOAH!
