the last day of November

Well, its the 30th so I thought I would take this opportunity to share the November news before we embark on a new month!
The week before Thanksgiving Josh went to his annual ETS (Evangelical Theological Society) meetings this year in Atlanta. He presented a paper and caught up with old friends from all over the world. And put his resume (CV) out there for some schools. He had a great time and is in the midst of writing, job hunting, working and still giving his family priority. He is doing an amazing job and we all would appreciate your prayers.
The same time that Josh was gone two of my sisters came and stayed with the kids and me in Cali. We had a blast and the four cousins were able to meet for the first time!
We had a nice Thanksgiving with friends and ate way too much. Josh cooked a bird and I made pumpkin pies so we had plenty of leftovers. yummo!

Then we had a few fun family days of Christmas shopping and of course getting a tree! I love the smell of pine and the kids are in love with the lights! It is so fun this year to talk about Jesus' birth and see Hallel beginning to understand.  She has been singing along to some of the Christmas songs. Yeah Christmas, here we come!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
