November really flew by here at the Merrell house. It's amazing how a little sleep deprivation can make the days run into weeks in flash. Here are a few of the highlights from this month...
Mimi came to visit our girls when Eleanor was 2 weeks old. Alice really enjoyed spending time with her and having Mimi "sleep over" in her big girl rom, and it made us feel great that she was getting a little more attention than we had been able to give her the last couple of weeks while we were adjusting to the new little member of out family.
So peaceful when she sleeps. It's amazing what a big miracle a tiny little baby is!
The weather around here this year has been anything but "fall like" with daily tempratures reaching 80 degrees. Alice had her cousin Kendall over to play in all of the leaves that have invaded our backyard, and they had a blast!
Alice spends about half of her time these days playing dress up. Here area a few of her latest costumes...
The princess ballerina
The...errr... fairy princess/super-hero is what she likes to call this one. She says the purse is her helmet. I guess safety comes first when your dad is the regional safety coordinator!
The Veterans Day Parade
I am so proud to be raising little patriots, and Alice takes her flag waving job very seriously!
A big thumbs up to Thanksgiving Feast at Children's Day Out. Alice said the best part was the macaroni and cheese. So easy to please...
Sweet sisters...Alice really likes her new baby sister except when her crying interrupts Sesame Street. Once this happend and she said "Mom, I can't like Eleanor. Can you take her back to the hospital?" I told her the window on the return policy had closed!
