November

 We are plugging away here, the kids are helping me write the posts so we can catch up. 

 Here is a common sight at our house in the evening.  With both of our callings one of us is gone at least two nights a week.  The kids love it cause they know that one parent at home means you can get away with so much more than when they are teamed up.  Generally all the weasel out of us is an episode or two of Phineas and Ferb- our all time family favorite.   

 Every once in a while we do put them to work.

 We had Thanksgiving at the Parrish household this year.  It was fabulous so of course I have no pictures.  The day after, my family came to visit.

 Benny is a one scoop in the bowl one in the mouth kind of a guy.  There is no end to the fun when we are with family.

The customary setting up of the Christmas tree always begins with much enthusiasm.  It usually ends with kids running around while mom tries to finish up.  I love having the tree up.  It makes it really feel like the holidays have begun.
