Hello to all and Happy Belated Thanksgiving! Zeke has been working on our fish tanks. Now when I say ours I simply mean they are Zeke's thing and I get to pick out the fish sometimes. We currently have two fish tanks one is fresh water and the other is Brackish meaning it is somewhere between fresh and salt water. This picture is of the fresh water one. I do have to say that I really enjoy sitting and watching the fish. If you look closely you can see one of two fish but if you have ever tried to take pictures of fish you know that it is not an easy task.


Lauren has progressed to where she is putting on her own cloths or at least getting the clothing on by her self. I walked down the hall to find her in my shirt. She wanted to wear a dress that morning when she got dressed and I would not let her so she did the next best thing.



Lauren is very curious of small holes and likes to stick her finger in them. She did just that to a can and found out the hard way that can lids can be sharp. The funny things was that two days earlier I tried to zest off my knuckles. Then two days later Zeke cut his finger on a piece of glass so we were sporting band aids. Zeke opted not to join in on our Ladybug party.


Lauren loves shoes, purses and glasses. She got a hold of my sunglasses and I had to pry them off of her.



This last summer we planted four tomato plants. One did not make the planting process and one did not flower. The two remaining however did quite well they flowered and grew beautifully. However this is the only four tomatoes that came off the plants during the warm season.


When it got cool then all these tomatoes grew, go figure when I stop paying attention to the silly plants they start to grow.



While pregnant with Lauren we went through an ice storm and were with out power for 14 days. I was cold but did just fine. This time around I am really noticing the difference in how comfortable I am compared to my family. I was wearing pants and a short sleeved shirt and they well as you can see from the pictures had to put a couple more layers on.


Nathen and family came up for Thanksgiving as you know and this is the only picture I took while they were here. But at least you can see what Nathen was trying to draw.


After Thanksgiving we decided to put up the tree, Lauren was more impressed with playing with the ornaments then anything else. But as always she was right in the middle of everything trying to help.


It was lots of fun to get to decorate now that she is old enough to help and enjoy it. She really liked the music box we are playing with.


In other news the Hall is done and these are the after pictures. We have not finished decorating but the painting of the walls are done. We also need to put up new trim but that can wait for a little bit anyway.


Zeke even made a lovely box to cover our door bell. He did an excellent job and I really like how it turned out. I am always amazed at the things he can make. Hope you all are doing well. I went to the Dr. last week and I am already dilated almost to a 2 so the baby should be here any time. We will keep you all posted. Love ya Zeke, Mylinda, Lauren , and the boy.
