nov '14

November.  a good month, and a month that broke the camel's back in a way.  in and amongst the good, I got sick and lost my voice for a week and got fed up enough with panic and anxiety that I asked for medication.

mgb's first day of work at his new gig!

we have many dance shows on our dance floor.  you might notice that magz is talking into the microphone of her hand.  daddy and ru are over there in the dark on the couch, in the audience.  it should be said that miss ru cannot be kept off the stage anymore, which is difficult for big sister and her need to control the dance show.  alas, she's learning the lesson that you can't control other people's dancing.

this is how Ru felt about elementary magnet tours.  maybe I'll write more about that sometime.

I got to storytell with children as a part of the River Oaks Chamber Orchestra debut of an original work entitled 'Jabberwocky'.  This was such a treat.

it really was a magical, haunting piece.

cold weather decided to spring up

and then the weather turned again.

I'm so very glad they like each other.

the community thanksgiving service was so good, and how cool to be in a room with so many different flavors of belief.

our study ended.  the best part was being with these women (and those not pictured!).

november is just our month to get sick.

I took bitties with me to work one day.

I was on the fence about the parade this year with so much sickness, but we were all stir crazy so out we went (daddy was working the parade).

then we went to ihop for whipped cream with a side of pancakes, which the girls were certain was the best breakfast ever.  we went to grammy and opa's later in the day for real food, and were thankful.  due to germiness, we decided to blow kisses at baby katherine this go-round.

thanksgiving at the ranch with cousins, where we blew kisses at baby seth.
