When did October happen?! It's already come and gone....and I'm not ready to deal with November! The last two weeks of November really took a toll on our little family. Everything went from normal to chaos in a matter of seconds! We had already been dealing with some things and then Max came down with a viral infection. The poor guy had fever and rash and was just miserable. In the mean time, i was dealing with really weird pain in my arms and legs and stumped my family dr. on what it was. Finally after LOTS of blood, a weekend of pain killers, and a visit to the Lutheran E.R....it's fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis. Gee...don't I feel old-knitting and arthritis?! While all of this was going on, our toilet decided to overflow and flood the bathroom, leaking into the dining room below. When it rains it pours, huh?! Despite all that has happened, i know it could be much worse. I thank the Lord that my pain was nothing more serious and that we were only given what we could handle without hurting someone! Family has been great about stepping in to help out, and both of our employers have been very understanding about all of the time off! (once again, thank you lord!)

On a happier note...we have celebrated many birthday's in the past few weeks! Carter Lee had a very cool dragon birthday to celebrate turning 3. Mom celebrated her birthday on the 28th. Grandpa Jackson and Miss Mayce share a birthday on the 30th! She had a very pretty 1st birthday & all of the kids dressed up. Max was one cute pirate- Aargh! Last, but not least...Tyler turned 24 Nov. 2nd and spent his first day at the first official Wabash Swim Team practice!

Now that we are starting to get back into a somewhat normal routine...we have to start preparing for the holidays! Thanksgiving will be here all too soon...then it's crunch time before Christmas! Guess i better be enjoying every second of fall before winter sneaks up....Hope you're enjoying yours!
