November Update

Are the months going by faster or are we just getting busier? November was another month which we packed a lot of fun into.


Sophia and I took another trip to the Zoo. It was a beautiful November day this time around. We visited all the animals and feed the giraffees. Sophia loves seeing the animals and enjoys looking at the map to find the animals she wants to see. We did a lot of walking and Sophia never complained. She is such a trooper.

Steve, Sophia and I took a weekend trip to Williamsburg. We had a great time. On Saturday we went to Historic Williamsburg. We listened to Thomas Jefferson and then checked out some of the shops. Sophia loved seeing the kids march in the parade. She followed behind them marching along. She even got a drum afterwards so she can make her own music. We took a horse and carriage ride too.

On Sunday we went to Jamestown. Sophia loved seeing the fort and ships. They had a lot of hands on stuff for us to do. Sophia enjoyed grinding corn, scrapping out a tree to make a boat and trying on the armor. We had a great weekend.

We had a lot to be thankful for on Thanksgiving. Nick and Katie joined us, so we were all together. Grandma Bev made turkey and stuffing and we brought the fixin's for a true feast. Sophia made Pop Pop's favorite pumpkin pie cake. We all enjoyed spending time together. These weekends seem to go too quickly.
