Updates Continued...

November.

WEDDING: we started november off with a wedding: david & lacy's it was beautiful and a lot of fun. we got a little lost and missed half of the ceremony but hey, they were too busy to notice anyhow, right? i will now proceed to post a video of my child at their wedding. the video has nothing what-so-ever to do with david or lacy. it only has to do with the 2nd most beautiful lady in the room that evening: miss rori kate! so sorry that i am obsessed with everything my kid does and i feel the need to post videos of my baby at other people special events.(side note: i don't know what i was thinking, obviously a video doesn't when the camera is held sideways in the same manner as a picture so before watching, turn your head to the right, haha!)
SANTA:we saw santa for the first time, and she was surprising less than impressed at first. surprisingly, because she generally loves everyone! but she warmed right up, i think it was the beard, haha. i'd post a picture but i'm sure the photo is copyrighted: professional photo and everything.

CAMPING:nathan and i enjoyed camping with josh, erica and ben. i say enjoyed, and yes it was enjoyable. however, it would have been a little more enjoyable had it been September and had nathan remembered to pack, well everything he was supposed to pack! Including the air mattress, i'm not one for sleeping on the cold hard ground. and i do mean cold! But i loved the fire and the conversation and the great company.

OTHER:there was also mom and jack's surprise anniversary re-wedding! the planning for which pretty much consumed november for me, this and the christmas play, which i will get to posting about eventually. and we ended with thanksgiving, which i really enjoyed this year, spending time with family is quite possibly my favorite pastime. here is another november pic,nothing to do with anything it just happens to have been taken in the month of november and is really cute! Right below here is another pic which wasn't actually taken in the month of november i just love it and thank it should be on here. and last but not least- thanksgiving picture. i love,love,love this picture. i think it tells quite a story. nathan's grandmother was really taken by rori! i don't know what it was but she wouldn't put her down! from the look on rori's face in the picture i would say she enjoyed her company as well.(rori loves anyone over the age of 60, this thanks to days spent with her Nan)!

below is a list of some first's for the month, mostly for my benefit but feel free to read!

Rori's first's:

-starting eating baby food, prefers momma to feed it to her. Free time is for the weak anyway! haha! -became very mobile(by means of rolling) -considers maci lou her best friend (the consideration was not reciprocated) -began making daddy a little upset by Loving-with a capital L- her mama! his turn will come...

The one reader that we have....says we need to update. And quite frankly, she is right (thanks sister)! In as few words as possible I will try to update you on the life of the Phillips' since October 23rd. (our last post) And in order to better serve you I will stop using capital letters now. for some reason i really don't like using capital letters. it's kind of a silly punctuation rule anyway if you think about it. also it is a little hard to hit the shift key and the letter at the same time with one hand, since i am currently keeping tiny fingers away from the keyboard at the same time. multi-tasking. i think actually i might petition to webster's to get a new definintion added to the word mommy. ya know something like:

mommy (mŏm'ē) noun 1. slang mother 2. excellent multi-tasker
getting sidetracked...

OCTOBER. okay we only missed halloween for october, i believe. we had a bit of a rough day. i took off work that day and spent the whole day visiting people who hadn't seen rori kate in a while and that was fun...well not really. in the carseat, out of the carseat, in the carseat, put on the costume, take it off, etc. Nate was late home from work which got us off to a slow start(sidenote: we couldn't be more thankful for him being late home from work that day, because it meant he had a job to be late home from) we did get to see little micah however and that was a nice visit. i unfortunatley didn't get a picture of the two of them in their costumes because it was a very brief occurance, it was like july weather and they both had december-like costumes, so needless to say, they didn't last long. if i had a carseat of my own you would have found me right next to them doing the same thing!

if i had a carseat of my own you would have found me right next to them doing the same thing at this point.

at rejoice's trunk or treat (one of the many stops of the day.) i just liked how she looked in this one.

are we ready yet?
