A Busy Month of November

I'm behind, I know!

Becca is now 5 1/2 months, so I've included some of her 5 month pictures. She's getting so big and strong; we're so proud!

November is a very social month for us. Sheri, Paul and Aaron were in for the first weekend and got to meet Miss Becca for the first time. It was fabulous. We're are so bummed that we don't live closer to each other. Sheri and Paul are magnificent parents and I feel lucky to have such good parenting resources!! Aaron is so precious and does not stop moving (ahh, the things to look forward to). We spent part of Saturday at a park and it was wonderful. Indian summer was in full swing (no pun intended).
Ashley was in for the second weekend in November to meet our little one (and to visit us). It was so great to catch up. I'm so excited for her; she is in such a good place with a wonderful man at her side and a beautiful home!!

The rest of our calendar of events includes going to the Joneses tonight, heading to Chris' Grandmother's Thanksgiving tomorrow, loading a moving truck on Sunday, closing on our house and unloading the moving truck on Monday, painting, cleaning and then off to Michigan on Thursday for Thanksgiving at the Monaghans' with guest appearances by the Joneses and the Fells! So, needless to say, I've been a bit busy and am breaking the rules by blogging right now--but, I just couldn't pack up the computer without a final update. We're not sure when we'll get the internet up and running, but be assured that when we do, the Jones family will be in our new home!!!!

Baby's First Halloween

We celebrated Halloween with Becca and it went well. She was, of course, the cutest thing out there...well, we didn't actually trick or treat, but we handed out candy to all the children in the neighborhood as they came around. Becca was a little overwhelmed at times, but did great! Here are some pictures, and I have to apologize for the fuzziness--Becca does not stop moving and we're still trying to figure out how to set the camera to capture her in a split second!
