Thanksgiving and more Fall

This November Luke started building side fences to enclose our backyard. This is in anticipation of adding a dog to our family: 

The family adopted a (mostly) gluten free diet, which included many new meals. Including my first attempt at making chili rellenos. 

We celebrated Thanksgiving with friends at my parents house. 

The bathrooms closed for the winter. I really love Colorado, but the bathrooms closing for the winter is probably my #1 least favorite thing about living here. Especially when I am on a run and in need of a bathroom...

 Josie is as sassy as ever

Lily won the raffle at church and her pastor came and brought her lunch at school

 Sunny days at the brewery with friends

Lovin' on rescue dogs. Looking for our new family member...

Fall days

Many adventures this fall. Including:

Raking leaves and discovering a Carolina Wolf Spider. 

We ended up capturing him and keeping him as a pet:

Fashion shows with the girls

Josie is always one step ahead in the messes she makes

Playing in leaf piles

Days at the park

Our newest kitchen gadget:

Lily fell down 8ft off the play equipment and almost bit through her lower lip.

Long days at home with nothing to do:


Practicing taekwondo in the basement:




And finally, sunny days at the denver zoo
