November…
In November, we saw soccer season come to an end. Juliette continues to make stellar progress.
While her brother could definitely use some help with his foot-eye coordination…
The season wrapped up just in time – those Saturday mornings were gettin’ cold!
In November, we bopped around the neighborhood quite a bit, with walks to Ercolini for playground time and to the Junction for chocolate croissants.
In November, we used the fireplace a lot.
In November, we took advantage of sunny Sundays to breathe in Fall’s last gasp of golds and greens and oranges. Camp Long is so good that time of year.
(He’s gettin’ it!)
And Volunteer Park! An autumn must-roam.
(Brother really does not like it on the rare occasion that I pick up his sister!)
Jefferson Park can’t match Volunteer Park’s foliage, but their zip lines and twirly-ma-bobbers can’t be beat.
Plus, Jefferson Park is right next to our favorite Beacon Hill haunts – Juliette and I shared a lot of morning lattes / steamers at this particular Fresh Flours table.
In November, Isaac made his first visit to the zoo! We spent an afternoon at Point Defiance saying hello to the elephant and the tiger and the sharks, oh my…
OH MY.
In November, we spent a long, lazy Thanksgiving weekend at home, baking and lounging, venturing outdoors just for a short hike through Schmitz Park before coming back inside for mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie.
We delayed our day-after-Thanksgiving Christmas tree plans on account of rain and an important World Cup game to watch on TV. I was a bit disappointed, but got over it real fast.
This isn’t the worst way to pass a morning!
In November, the kids’ matching pajamas arrived in the mail and I did laundry every day for four days just so they could keep wearing them.
And in November, we got that first sweet taste of Christmas magic. Hellooooooo, December.
