November Begins the Whirlwind!

Tuesday November 13, 2007

November is a big month around our house. Both Mitchell and Hannah have their birthdays – exactly two weeks apart! Hannah’s isn’t until next week, but Mitchell had his last week. The day before his big day, I walked into his room to find him laying across his lower-bunk bed, staring into space and apparently doing nothing. This is quite unusual for Mitchell, as you well know.

So, I asked him what he was doing and he told me, “I’m waiting for 6!”

Well, the day finally came and I made him his cake and we had the kids in the house over to help him celebrate. It was lovely and Mitchell was very patient and well-behaved – such a relief!

He received lots of Legos from Mommy & Daddy, and Hannah and Samantha contributed to his collection, as well. Nana and Grampa sent him some goodies from home, including yummy edibles, socks and Season 2 of Happy Days. Aunt Barbara sent him the new Transformers movie in a special transforming case, a really cool dinosaur T-shirt, a Color Wonder coloring set and a new Backyardigans video. She also sent snacks, the cake and some really cool Jeff Gordon drink cups. He also got a beautiful story book in German and some cute toys from his friends.

Fall is already on the way out. Last week I had a dentist appointment and as I walked there I saw a gorgeous tree that I wanted to photograph but I’d left my camera at home. Not a problem, I thought, I can bring it on Wednesday when I bring Mitchell for his appointment. Nope. By Wednesday, gale-force winds and driving rain had beaten nearly all of the glorious foliage off the trees!

That’s what happens if you wait for a photo opportunity around here. You blink and the scenery has changed. Now, the weather is flirting with winter. We’ve already had a little bit of snow but nothing that sticks. I had to drive almost an hour away to see snow still on the ground.

  1. Happy Bithday to you Mitchell. You are getting so big. I remember the day before Caleb turned 6 in September, I asked him 50 times, “How old are you again??”. He just couldn’t wait for 6 either. How fun!

    Love,
    Aunt Jamie, Uncle Alex and kids
