Is it really November already?????

We as a family can't believe we are already in November! October was exciting and filled with many adventures.

I was off for most of the month, due to teaching in the year-round schedule. While I was off I enjoyed every minute of being a full-time MOM!! It was great, every minute but also very tiring compared to working! I give full props to those stay at home moms out there. We went to Music class, story time at the library, lunch with friends, and just played and had fun.

Unfortunately at the end of the month I had to go back to work. Boo-hoo but ready to not be so exhausted. Ted also went back to work full time and quit being a stay at home dad. With this Hollin is now back at her nannies house, my dad. She is happy. Ted is super busy getting the restaurant ready and loving every minute of it. It is great to see him busy and happy.

Hollin also celebrated her first Halloween. She was the MOST ADORABLE pink poodle ever! The best part of Halloween was my brother, Greyson and his wife Amy came too! It was hilarious we all took Hollin trick-or-treating, all four of his. We are a bunch of goobers. It was great though. Hollin loved them!

During, Greyson and Amy's visit we also took Hollin to the aquarium to see the fish. It was so much fun! She loved all the fish and seeing Nemo. Although I think her favorite part was the balloon animal her Aunt Amy got her. It was a palm tree with bananas and a monkey climbing up it. It was so cute and by far the best balloon animal I have ever seen. She also made us all laugh at lunch at the aquarium where she had, or scarfed alfredo sauce.

We also had a great time at a private family tasting event at our restaurant. I can't even tell you all how incredible the food is. Yum-o! The restaurant looks amazing the food is incredible. It was perfect! Not to mention the fact that my brother and sister-in-law was here.

Many of you know my brother is truly my hero and I miss him terribly so to have him in town was the best! He is great and so is his wife. It was a great month.

This month we are looking forward to the opening of the restaurant and my dad's 60th birthday party, finally! We are also really looking forward to Thanksgiving and the CU vs Nebraska game because I think we are going to win! Go Buffs!
