Here are the highlights of the month.
Early in November we went to Illinois to visit the Owens. Courtney turned 8 years old on Halloween and we were able to visit for her baptism.
We enjoyed the weekend with the Owens and their extended family. It is such a beautiful experience to see a young child enter the gate, beginning along the path leading back to heaven. Courtney is the sweetest little girl! She has been a great friend to the kids. We are happy we could be invited to this special day for her.
I was asked to temporarily accompany the choir for the Christmas program. It was a high priority for me to find a piano since we didn't bring our last one with us and I needed to practice. I also wanted to jump back into the kids' lessons. After researching what I wanted and checking out different pianos. I decided on one that I found on Craig's list. I had it inspected before we purchased it. It is a quality instrument with a good sound. It was a good deal and we felt like the design would complement our home. We had it tuned about a month after we brought it home.
A few days later we got our first snow.
While our kitchen was being torn out (starting at the beginning of the month) we were grateful to enjoy Thanksgiving with the Sanchez family. Mike and Taralie's family also joined us there. What a bountiful time this was for us, being surrounded by family and delicious food. Thank you to the Sanchez family for hosting again!
We finished off the month by buying a live tree for Christmas. This was a highlight for us in our new home that was otherwise a disaster due to construction. You can also see the new area rug we picked out for our front room.
Well, that about wraps up our month.
