November 2013 – Month 11

I missed adding this photo to my October blog post.  We had a good time walking around town trick-or-treating with friends.

We started a program with Aunt Susie’s library where we will read 1,00 books before kindergarten.   Check out this link to find a library near you or to see other websites like, “Books your child should hear before kindergarten”. 

Reading to Henry

Nola Mae likes to read too and be cute.

Nola Mae likes wearing boots and she doesn’t seem to care if they are on backwards.

We took a walk to meet our new neighbors.  Charlie wore his stilts down the hill.

And for most of the walk to the neighbor’s.

I took this picture on November 22nd after one of our first snowfalls.  Nola Mae discovered that snow is yummy.

She likes to wear backpacks.

Even when they are too heavy for her and she tips over.

Nola Mae has been showing signs of understanding the potty.  After helping her take off the back pack I told her we should change her diaper soon.  I came into the living room and found her waiting for a new diaper.  Once her diaper is off she wants to sit on the potty.

Sometimes bedtime is a little challenging with Henry.  Jack usually reads one book to him and he can have a pile of books to read himself until he gets tired.  Sometimes he comes out to tell me he isn’t sleepy.   I can’t remember how bedtime went this time.  I thought it was hilarious when I found his body in the pillow case and his head on the book that he was reading.

I was laying out my wraps to take photos of them for when I am ready to sell.  Nola Mae climbed on the table for a pose.

I sold my Ellaroo Ysable woven wrap.  This was the first wrap I bought.  It wasn’t getting much use so it was time for it to find a new home.

  1. Jenny, I especially love the photo of you reading to Henry. Charlie must be good with those stilts–I’d think it hard to walk in the grass. Your sewing projects are inspiring–the clip on the bag for keys is a great idea, since keys always seem to disappear at the bottom of a bag. Nola Mae is cute in every shot. The portrait of your family makes me suck in a deep breath of happiness, and count my blessings. Thanks! 🙂 🙂 🙂

  2. I especially love the family profile photo. It is so fun to compare all your features and see how each family member resembles each other….this would be fun for all families to do!
