The Weekend Before Thanksgiving

Jeff always takes the Mon/Tues of Thanksgiving week off...so on his vacation kickoff weekend:

1. We watched Micah playing basketball

2. He dug the hole for the septic tank pumping...to be done on Monday

3. And Grace went skiing with him to enjoy the inaugural ski trip of the season!

Abe Froman...

...the Sausage King of Chicago

Going-to-the-Sun Bike Ride

Jeff got to check something off of his bucket list this June--he biked the Going-to-the-Sun Highway! Matt Prior organized a trip and it was so great that Jeff wants to do it again next year!

And while Dad was gone, Micah got his very own LIBRARY CARD.  Finally.

Jeff's at Mountainside Middle

On Labor Day we helped Daddy put up his fabric bulletin boards in his new classroom!  Welcome to Mountainside Middle, Mr. Lochhead!

Lotsa Lochhead Birthdays

This year we celebrated November AND December birthdays on 12/16.  

Happy Birthday, Colleen, Jeff, Annie, and Scott!

And here is the coziest Advent reading of the month!  Usually we're speed-reading through the three that we didn't get to the nights previous...but every once in a while we get it right.  Come, Lord Jesus.
