November was full of activities, family and friends. The days are getting shorter and the air much cooler.  We are shifting into winter mode and holiday crazy. I have been making a point to shoot with my DSLR and not just my iPhone when I am with the family and I am so glad.  Here are a few of my favorite moments from the past month. I hope you enjoy!
Leave raking, unprompted, I love this boy. He insisted I should get out there and help him… I asked him how much his dad had payed him to tell me that, tee hee.
The girl started half day Pre-K in the afternoons.  Just two and a half hours, but it has sparked new interest in words and letters and numbers.
I started a new photography/blog project with my friend Liz Lamoreux. We had a marathon photo shoot at my house one morning while our girls played downstairs. How awesome is it to have a creative that I have followed online for so long as a neighbor and a friend!? (Here, she is holding a print created by artist, Lori Portka)

We joined the art museum as members and are thrilled with the open studio and art supplies. The shows they have up right now are amazing, but I need to go without the kids to really spend time with the art instead of worrying about the safety of the art.
We had an amazing Thanksgiving. My godparents and my mom drove up from Reno and our amazing Tacoma friends joined our table.  What a lovely day and so much to be thankful for.

Have you made the rounds? I was running a little behind this month, but the other ladies in this little blog roll have had their post up and running. Make sure you hop on over to Adriana’s next!
