swinging along.

November is cruising along, and we are fortunate to spend a big chunk of this month with family.  A brand new cousin has arrived, my parents are in town, and Quinn's Uncle Drew will be here very soon.  We are so grateful for this time.

It's been a little chilly this past week, yet yesterday brought some mild air (and today even better) so we took advantage of taking in a little fresh air with a trip to our closest little park (on grandpa's birthday). 

Quinn loves the swing.

I think we are ready to welcome winter now.

With a warm day today we took advantage and got the Christmas lights up.  Since we were already doing that I went ahead and figured I could decorate the house with some Christmas things too.  We don't have our tree up yet, but I love Christmas decorations so the longer we can have them up the better. :)  It was a productive day.  Aside from getting the Christmas lights up and decorations, Todd also cleaned and straightened up the garage (needed it bad) and I made some peanut butter chocolate chip cookies, among the usual house chores, and not to leave out all of our time chasing Quinn around.  She was a good napper today, so that helped with how much we were able to do today.

I think with the Christmas decorations up, that helps us feel more ready for snow.

Hope you had a wonderful weekend!
